Not a fancy name

Image: © Robert Graham Taken: 12 Aug 2019

This terraced street in Pelton in Co Durham has the very blunt name of Industrial Street. This part of the ex-mining village of Pelton dates from Edwardian times, just before the First World War. These would have been miners houses and many such streets in this part of Durham have strictly utilitarian names, as this one does.
