The Davy Lamp at Kelloe
A pub of this name is shown on the first Ordnance Survey map of the 1860's, but this particular building looks much later than that.

Artwork beside the former railway to East Hetton Colliery
This area of ground beside the former mineral railway serving East Hetton (Kelloe) Colliery is dedicated to those who lost their lives winning coal during the mine's working life (1836 - 1983). The stones represent miners coming to and from the mine which is depicted by the steel arch.

Memorial to dead of pit disaster
The monument is to the 74 dead of the Trimdon Grange pit disaster of 16 February 1882 - 69 were killed in an explosion and 5 others (rescuers) by 'after damp'.
The memorial is in an isolated position to the east of the village of Kelloe near to Church Kelloe where St. Helen's Church lies. The grave arrangement there is unusual with the church lying below a minor road in what is presumably a graveyard in which most of the gravestones have been relocated to stand beside a wall above the church and below the road. The monument here stands in an open area of grass with scattered trees on the north side of the minor road. It must surely, also have been part of the graveyard or of a separate one, as other individual graves and gravestones remain there.

Colliery Disaster Memorial
Grade II listed gothic style memorial to those who perished in the Trimdon Grange Colliery disaster of 1882. Kelloe (East Hetton) Colliery was a neighbouring colliery of Trimdon Grange, the two villages being only a couple of miles apart. As such several Kelloe men worked at Trimdon Grange and some were among the initial 69 killed in the explosion. A further 5 men from East Hetton Colliery perished underground when attempting rescue (the two mines being linked underground), being overcome by gas. The monument is inscribed with the names of the 26 men and boys buried at Kelloe.
