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.

Old path through the trees
This path is on a bit of waste land in the middle of No 1 Industrial Estate. It is shown on old maps as a path to Bunker Hill Farm. The stone gate post at the end here has probably been moved into the middle to deter unauthorized vehicles.

Path alongside the playing fields
These are the playing fields of Consett Rugby Club, behind the metal fence. There are two large floodlight pylons here also. The little path is a favourite of local dog walkers.
