Ruin of Haswell pumping engine building
The ruined building with immensely thick walls was built to house a steam engine which drove pumping equipment that drained Haswell Colliery lying to the east of the village, Haswell Plough. The colliery was closed in the 1890's, the last working shift at Haswell was on the 25th September 1896. [Source: Newcastle Daily Chronicle Saturday 26th September 1896]: thanks to Philip Soakell for the added detail.
The sculpture commemorates the pit disaster of 1844 when 95 men and boys were killed. There seems to have been some re-working of the carved faces on the front of the monument - they appear to be much more 'clean-cut' than others.

Fence around Haswell Engine House
Easily missed, faces on the metal fence protecting the ruins of Haswell Colliery Engine House. In 1844 an underground explosion killed 95 men and boys working in the pit, only 6 survived. There is a carved stone memorial here, to the left in my photo, but the loss of life is also marked by the faces on the fence.

Cattle behind complex fence
As the blue and yellow road sign informs, the cattle are in a field close to the County Durham village of Haswell.
The assumption was that the cattle were English Longhorns but an enquiry of the Longhorn Cattle Society brought the following response....
"The cattle aren’t Longhorns, the one in the foreground is a Simmental or Simmental cross and the one in the background is probably a Shorthorn crossed with a Charolais."
