Alexandra Street, CHESTER LE STREET, DH2 1NT

In Newfield village.

This school was originally built in 1921, to replace an earlier school at Pelton Fell. Pelton is a village that is somewhat spread out. This part is Pelton Lane Ends.

The College is a secondary school with specialist status in PE and sport. It is a co-educational school for pupils aged 11 to 18, and has a small special educational needs resource base.

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.

The school takes children aged 3 - 11 in eight classes. There are currently about 200 children on roll.

This recently constructed play park has its entrance in Industrial Street. In the background, on the right, is part of Pelton Roseberry Primary School.

This footpath runs along the edge of grazing land. The road to the right of the housing is The Parade, Pelton.

In the village of Pelton Road Ends. It stands on Pelton Lane, at the junction with Newfild Road. Newfield village dates from the second half of the C19, as a pit village. The pub was built then also. The area around the pub is Pelton Lane Ends, another mining community, built at end of the C19 and the early C20. The building still has features from earlier times, for instance the arched opening in the outbuilding on the right, which was probably where the dray waggons went into the yard.
