Old wall beside the railway path
A surviving piece of original wall at the junction of the Consett and Sunderland Railway Path with New Watling Street in Leadgate village. You may note the Wren sitting on top of the wall. The safety barrier is to prevent cyclists from riding straight onto the road.

Square Behind South Cross Street
The Leadgate miners' cottages were built in squares in the 1840's. The original cottages had no toilets or running water, and the squares contained earth closets, one for every 3 cottages, and a communal pump or stand pipe. They were also used for drying washing, storing coal, dumping rubbish and keeping pigs.

Old houses on New Watling Street
This street runs north from the crossroads in the centre of the village of Leadgate. The name refers to the fact that this was the old Roman Road of Dere Street. Watling Street is a bit of a misnomer, as it is a Roman road in southern England. These old houses are from the original mid-late 19th century founding of the village.
