Ghost village on Black House Lane
In the field on the right, a whole village of miners' houses once stood. Built before the war, they were declared a category D village in 1951, meaning the county council had decided they were not needed any more. Even though the category D was lifted in the 1970s, the village was eventually demolished in 1978. Just a couple of houses remain, as can be seen. I believe one of them was once the Working Men's Club.

Bus stop on Black House Lane
There doesn't appear to be much of need of a stop here, with just a handful of houses, but there used to be a whole estate here at one time. Called Beech Ville, it was built in the 1930's for local miners, and finally demolished in 1978.

Beech Grove farmhouse
Viewed from the north from Beechgrove Lane. The farmhouse is rather grand, and originally was built in early Victorian times as a country house for William Hedley, the son of the famous local engineer of the same name.
