St Ives Road, Leadgate
View looking east along what is the village main street. Some of these houses are Victorian, and one shows an entry which leads to a long close behind the street. Several houses have this rather unusual feature, a survivor from earlier times.

This street is the main road east from the village crossroads. Of interest is the arched opening in the old stone house, leading through to the rear gardens. There are several of these along the main street.

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!"
