No 1 roundabout, Consett
This district on the north side of Consett takes its name from the No1 Pit. This was the first pit in the area and mined both coal and ironstone for the new iron works at Consett in the 1840's.

Approach to No 1 roundabout from the east
View along Villa Real Road at Consett to the roundabout on Medomsley Road. The strange name comes from The No 1 Pit, established nearby in the 1840's by the Derwent Iron Company to mine both coal and iron ore. This was the forerunner of the Consett Iron Company of later times.

Derwentside Funeral Service, Medomsley Road
On a dull and dismal December day in Consett, this seemed an appropriate shot.
The building was erected in 1939 and was a fish and chip shop. Later it became a plumbers' merchant and then in 1975 a frozen food shop. It has been a funeral service since 1986.
