Benfieldside is a settlement in County Durham, England. Although not a village in its own right, it is signposted and locally known. The name 'Benfieldside' survives in Benfieldside Road, a school of that name, the local tennis club and the church. Its post office no longer exists, though one remains in the village of Shotley Bridge. The Parish Church is dedicated to St. Cuthbert and is on Church Bank. The area is directly to the north of Consett, to which it is effectively attached. From Wikipedia
