The main street in Nettlesworth
This is looking west along Park View, part of the B6312 which runs through the village from Sacriston, to the main A167 a short distance west of here. Most of the village housing is of fairly recent origins, as shown here. The village was created as miners houses in the mid 19th century, but there was an earlier one dating back to medieval times. However, it wasn't on this site, but a couple of kilometres to the west, near present day Sacriston.

Looking across the road to the Red Lion
The dual carriageway of the A167 cuts the pub off from the village of Plawsworth on the east side of the road. A rather unfortunate consequence of the road being much wider than it was when the original pub was built in the 18th century.

View of the Red Lion from the roadside
This former coaching inn is in the village of Plawsworth. It was present on the 1861 first series O S map, but was a much smaller building then. The road, now the A167, was originally the Great North Road, the A1. The present building dates from the 20th century, probably the 1930's from the style, but could be later.
