The buildings are on the east side of the A686 in Alston. The right part of the stone building was for many years the Central Cafe and is well-remembered as the refreshment stop for the Wrights Brothers bus and coach service which ran (and hopefully will run again), between Newcastle and Keswick. It has been in a deteriorating state since its closure some decades ago. The white painted building is part of Henderson's Garage.
