Woodland is a small village located in South West County Durham, North East England. The village lies close to the Cumbrian and North Yorkshire borders in an area of unspoilt countryside.

The purpose of this site is to give a brief background to the village, especially its coal mining past. A number of historical photographs are included in the site, many illustrating the mining history of the village.

Photo Gallery 1 shows views of Woodland from the beginning of the 20th century alongside views of the village today highlighting the changes that have occurred during the last 100 years. Archive images of Woodland are displayed in Photo Gallery 2 while Photo Gallery 3 contains archive photographs of the neighbouring village of Copley.
