Acre Rigg
Aerial view of Essington Way, c.1957.
Essington Way is the main spine road running north from the town centre to Thorpe Road which connects Easington Village / Colliery (seen in the far distance), with Horden and Sunderland Road. East of Essington Way is the North East Quadrant (also known as the Eden Hill area). West is Acre Rigg (North West Peterlee) which was built in five phases from 1956 – 1966. The early phases of Acre Rigg share a similar character to that of the earlier North East Quadrant. The later phases built in the 1960s contrast sharply, drawing on the design approached developed in the South West Area under the guidance of artist Victor Pasmore.
