The metal milepost at the front of the house records the time that this was the original route of the main A69 before Heddon and Horsley were by-passed by a new dual carriageway in 1971. The building behind is known as the Dukes' Houses named for the Duke of Northumberland who owned 15 farms in the area in the 17th century.
