Cutler's Hall, Shotley Bridge
These cottages were built in 1787 for the Oley family, one of the famous Shotley Bridge sword making families. These craftsmen originally came to the area from Germany in the C17 and carried on their trade until the C19. The road here is named Cutler's Hall Road after them.

Road sign beside A691 entering Shotley Bridge
The River Derwent which forms the boundary between Northumberland and County Durham lies just over the wall beside the road sign. That blue and yellow sign tells that this side is the Durham side.

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.
