Cottages at Crookhall
These terraced bungalows were originally built for the miners of Crookhall Colliery by Consett Iron Company, which owned the pit. A lot of similar housing is dotted around Consett, all built by the Company.

Vertical axis wind turbine
Turning merrily at Tesco premises, Consett. As their marketing department keep telling us, 'Every little helps.'
It's a Rotapec WindRotor and stands at about the same height as the nearby lamp post.
I asked someone in the car park what this was and was told it was a sculpture!
Update - 2011: This has been removed from the car park
Update - 2013: this branch of Tesco has now closed and a much bigger store has opened in the town.
