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.

Watling Woods bench, Leadgate
A wood carving and polishing business has been established in a garden adjoining the Consett and Sunderland railway path which also carries the world famous C2C cycle route. Inscriptions on the bench read:
"Joe and Mark helped to make me
This seat was made by some of us for all of us
Can you help?
Art-e-factory and care-takers
Working together with anyone who cares
Carve the bark and polish the spot
Have a go - try - but leave me better than you found me!"
