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.
