Quaking HousesQuaking Houses is a small village near to the town of Stanley in County Durham, in England. It was originally settled by Quakers, but during the Industrial Revolution it developed into a mining village and to this day consists of back-to-back miners' houses. Accessible by road only from the main South Moor Road, the village is dominated by one large road, with large strips of terraced housing on either side, both facing outwards. The large road is divided into several different street names: Second Street, Third Street, Fourth Street, with Woodside Terrace and Fellside Terrace located at the west end. A large turning circle enables large vehicles, particularly buses, to change direction. The village is often colloquially referred to as 'Quakies'. It is adjacent to the larger village of South Moor.
