The sign for the Moorside Hotel Bar and Restaurant still stands beside the busy Consett Road (A692). However, the hotel itself (really just a pub) was demolished about three years ago and apart from the sign the only indication that it ever existed is the tarmac surface of the carpark. Permission has been granted for the construction of fourteen new houses, as yet unexercised.
