Esh Winning

[Soggy Gussets]

Nice place to live ?

In parts aye. I married a lass from there and moved there years ago, when it was still a cat D area, and very much a pit village ( except the pit was gone). Its improved loads since then, and there's some really nice houses built around the village. Good people.

Acton Road is top notch Marra, lived at the top of Brandon Road ( about 50 yards away) and it's one of the best bits. Looks over the forestry on one side, the cricket club is on the doorstep, and its well away from the main road. Nice place to live.

looking at one in ushaw moor, been to view it, fucking beautifully done out but the tiling on the roof is a bit pap, so trying to decide on an offer and whatnot

Nice house that one, backs onto the line so would check the fenceing a the bottom of the garden is fine. Apart from that you are well way from any dodgy areas there.
