The Belmont Tavern was situated in the equally short-lived colliery village of Belmont Colliery, Co Durham. Belmont Colliery was sunk in 1829, opened in 1836 and closed in 1872. During that period it was surrounded by a village which included the Belmont Tavern. Following closure of the colliery the village lived on for a number of years but was eventually demolished. It disappears from maps around the end of the 19th Century. Following the demise of the original Belmont Colliery village a new village of Belmont was built 1.5 miles to the south-east. Today it is a suburb of the city of Durham.
