East Blackdene is a hamlet in the civil parish of Stanhope, in County Durham, England. It is situated to the north of the River Wear, on the opposite side of Weardale from St John's Chapel.[1] The land would have originally been one farm owned by the Bishop of Durham, but was subdivided through the 15th-17th centuries, resulting in a small cluster-settlement. This is similar to West Blackdene.[2]
