Copley is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated a few miles to the west of Bishop Auckland. It famously produced singer/songwriter James Kirkby who's song "White Rose" was a number 14 hit in March 1995. Copley has its own official weather station (http://copley.mysite.orange.co.uk) run by the Met Office and Environment Agency. Because of its height above sea-level, around the 1,000ft contour, and position in the north-east, this station is often one of the coldest in England with high incidences of ground frosts and snowfalls.
