Hesleden

[10] Heselden has a post office and general store in Front Street, also serving hot pies and some other convenience foods.

[13] Blackhall Welfare Park, managed and maintained by Monk Hesleden Parish Council, provides recreation and leisure facilities for the community.

The park opened in 1929 and was managed and funded by the Miners Welfare Scheme until the closure of the local Blackhall Colliery in 1981.

Funds from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust were involved in completing new changing rooms, which opened in October 2010.

The B1281 secondary road along the north side of the village provides a link with the main north–south A19 and with the coastal A1086 between Hartlepool and Sunderland.
