Shittlehope Burn Farm

Image: © Robert Graham Taken: 23 Jul 2024

An old farmstead on the outskirts of Stanhope in Weardale. This is the farmhouse, probably the one shown on the first Ordnance Survey map of 1861. The fact that it's detached, with the outbuildings on the other side of the road, suggests that it's 19th century in origin. Farms from earlier times usually were of a linear layout in this area, with the byres attached to the house.
