Ushaw Moor is an old pit village in County Durham, in England, on the north side of the River Deerness.

Ushaw Moor falls within the Deerness electoral ward in the City of Durham constituency, whose MP since 2019 has been Mary Foy.

The strike was ended when a number of policemen were brought into the village to evict the strikers and their families; such treatment was not uncommon in those times.

Mr Chaytor, sick of the years of industrial unrest, sold Ushaw Moor colliery to Pease & Partners in 1883.

In the last thirty years it has grown and become the centre of the Deerness Valley, becoming unusually prosperous where most pit villages have struggled.
