Description
Originally identified as 'Bar Moor', the village is first depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition of 1862, surveyed in 1857. The village comprises several houses between Kepier Pit and Emma Pit. There is very little information regarding the origins and history of the village which appears to have expanded significantly towards Ryton and Crawcrook by the late 19th century.
