This is now the Consett to Sunderland Railway Path, just behind Front Street in Leadgate village. Looking east here, near the former location of the station. The houses are in Railway Street, appropriately. Heavy snow here overnight in late February.

Watling Street Bungalows, Leadgate
These long streets of single storey terraces were built parallel to Watling Street, going down the bank. I think these were probably built by Consett Iron Company between the wars.

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.
