Quebec, County Durham

Quebec is a small village in County Durham, in North East England.

The village takes its unusual name from the more famous city of Quebec, Canada.

Quebec is for all purposes (historic, ceremonial and administrative) located in County Durham.

It is in the Esh and Witton Gilbert ward, which as of 2023 is represented on Durham County Council by Bev Coult and Arnie Simpson (Lib Dem).

At the age of 20, Chris Waddle was working in Quebec's former meat factory, Hamsteels Frozen Foods, when he was signed by Newcastle United in 1980 from nearby Northern League side Tow Law Town for £1,000.
