The industrial estate was formerly the site of the West Wylam Colliery and ICI Chemical Works. The latter was responsible for the Spetchells, hills of chalk dumped as industrial waste north of the railway line (visible behind, to the right). New industry has taken their place. Prudhoe Mill, a paper works and warehouse, operated by SCA Hygiene are on the left. In the centre is Thompsons of Prudhoe, demolition experts, currently removing Gateshead's 'Get Carter' car park.
