Entrance to Blackhill and Consett Park
This large attractive public park was gifted to the community by the Consett Iron Company in 1891 as a contribution to the well being of its workers. The plaque set into the ground acknowledges the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund for restoration work of some of the Victorian features in the Park.
This gateway leads from Park Road into a point near the top of the Park.
