Ferryhill is a dump though. Outside of Durham and Darlington there are incredibly few places any sane person would want to live in.
I used to live there, and yes it is a dump though. However while there are lots of really deprived little towns like this in the NE, there are also lots of lovely little villages. Houses in the latter cost 5X as much as the former of course... you can easily buy a property in somewhere like Ferryhill for £40k.
And I'd say Darlo is a dump too, Durham is the gem of the NE although there are some nice smaller towns dotted around.
