Looking down Derby Drive, Moorside
This long street opens off the A692, the Consett to Castleside road. The large estate at Moorside was started in the 1920's as council housing, and extended later in the 20th century. Derby Drive has the local shops for the estate.

Old drove road, Castleside
This runs north from the A692 next to the Horse and Groom pub, which used to be a drovers inn. The road continued north to the crossing of the Derwent at Allensford. It is now just a footpath.

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.

Looking north along the old drove road
Now just a footpath but the old stone walls on the right show it was once an important route north to Scotland. Much of it is now the A68, but this section was bypassed by the later road.
