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.

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.
