The north side of the main street to the west of the old cross roads starts with a peculiarity. The cottage, marked as a smithy on the 1895 Ordnance Survey, has the look of an C18th building with its triangular-shaped stone gable copings, but does not appear on the 1865 map. The small spring issuing through into the boundary wall is a rare historic street detail. Horsley Conservation Area Character Appraisal, Tynedale Council (2009).
