Woodland above Eltringham Scar

Image: © Andrew Curtis Taken: 12 Sep 2011

The scar is a heavily wooded, steep slope above the railway line and the River Tyne. The photo location is just west of the site of an earlier fire-brick factory shown on the 1865 OS map near the bottom of Coldkettle Dene. It may have been in operation from 1840 to 1870 http://www.keystothepast.info/article/10339/Site-Details?PRN=N10166
