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

C2C at Consett
The Consett and Sunderland path (part of the famous C2C cycle route, National Cycle Network route 7) for the most part follows the line of the old railway. But here it diverges from the trackbed for about 1 km and runs along this line of trees at the edge of the Crook Hall playing fields. This was the first length of the path to be laid (in 1987).

Site of Consett station, 1988
View NE, towards Annfield Plain, Birtley and Newcastle, also Pelaw and Tyne Dock: ex-NER line - passenger from Newcastle, goods from Tyne Dock. The latter included the celebrated heavy iron-ore workings to Consett Steelworks, which were on the Blackhill line, behind and to the west of this view. Consett station was closed to passengers from 23/5/55, but until 1980 this view would be full of railway sidings and the station buildings survived until then at least.
