St Aidan's Church, Blackhill
On Laburnum Avenue, opposite Blackhill Park. This church is no longer in use and has been sold off. However, it appears to be deteriorating at the moment, with no sign of any work taking place. The church was completed in 1885 and the tower added in 1903. Hopefully, the building will eventually be restored.

Bessemer Street, Blackhill
A reminder of Consett's past as a steel town. The Bessemer process was the first large scale method of producing steel, although I think Consett used the open hearth method mostly.
