I remember when this was all fields...
Now a housing estate, in the early 1980's this was part of my playground. Date given is approximate.

View along Benfieldside Road
Looking north along the road. This area of Consett was developed early, being next to Shotley Bridge. The houses on the right are probably early Victorian.

Old building on Benfieldside Road
Benfieldside is one of the oldest areas of Consett. The stone building here may have been an old farm at one time.

Old cottages on Benfieldside Road
Benfieldside is one of the oldest suburbs of Consett, and these cottages look to be a good age. Perhaps early C19. Nice garden.

Sloping ground above St. Cuthbert's Church
St. Cuthbert's Church in Shotley Bridge is on the steep, narrow Church Lane.The ground around the church is walled and mainly limited to what is in view in the image and equally steep land to the left. It would normally be thought of as a graveyard and graves are there, but very few. The building beyond the largest tree is the church hall.

Spire of St Cuthberts Church
The parish church of Shotley Bridge was built in 1849 on a back lane at the edge of the village. As it's behind the main street, it retains a rural feel to the present day.
