This straight section was built on the site of Ashington Common after its enclosure in 1816 linking the church, just visible in the distance, which once lay on the edge of the common with the newly marked out London Road. To the right are a set of cottages built after the enclosure and one of the earliest buildings in this newer part of Ashington, originally numbering two they were later extended to five.
