Moorside Hotel, RIP
A sign for the Moorside Hotel Bar and Restaurant still stands beside the busy Consett Road (A692). However, the hotel itself (really just a pub) was demolished about three years ago and apart from the sign the only indication that it ever existed is the tarmac surface of the carpark. The Hownsgill Viaduct can be seen on the skyline Image

It dates from the early 20th century, before WW1, and takes its name form a large farm which once stood in open fields on the other sid eof the road. This was demolished in the 1930's to make way for the Moorside housing estate.

Heathland at Whinney Hill

Moorside Cemetery
Moorside Cemetery is a recent development, opened in August 2009; there are few graves there presently (February 2015). Moorside is close to Consett in County Durham and perhaps the design of the gates reflects the steel-making history of that town.
