Photo taken from Ryton Golf Course over the Tyne Valley railway line. A community orchard of dwarf apple trees was planted in 2000 between Tyne View and the railway line by Clara Vale Conservation Group with the support of the Village Hall Committee, members of the Community and Gateshead Council http://www.england-in-particular.info/orchards/o-dham-i.html The land here was the original location of Stanner House, which along with Crawcrook Mill just south of the level crossing, were the only two buildings in this location before the village was built and the colliery developed.
