Terraced miners houses at Blackhouse
This little hamlet of miners cottages was built just before the First World War at a crossroads south of Craghead. There was already a pub here, which gave its name to the village. The houses here are Dyson's Buildings on the right, and Thompson's Buildings on the left.

The Black House Inn
This country pub is now a private house called Charlaw View. The former pub gave its name to the little mining hamlet here, which dates from the early 20th century. The pub is older and was probably built at the crossroads here in the early 19th century. The present building is not that old of course, and appears to have been rebuilt in the late 19th century.

Front view of Beechgrove Terrace
In the little hamlet of Blackhouse, near Craghead. Built just before World War I, probably for miners in the local pits. The former pub, the Black House Inn, can be seen at the far end. This predates the hamlet, but is now a private house.

Beechgrove Terrace, Blackhouse
Blackhouse appears to consist of very little more than Beechgrove Terrace. The blue and yellow road sign is characteristic of a style of signage introduced by County Durham some years ago - compare the image http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/245749 of a few years earlier.
