St Mary's R C Church, Blackhill
This was the first Catholic church built in Consett, in 1857. It was built to serve the large Irish Catholic community which had settled in Blackhill. The men came over to work in the steelworks and to escape the potato famine. The architect was Matthias Dunn, who designed the building in Gothic revival style. The clock tower wasn't completed until 1884.

National Cycle Network milepost in Consett
This milepost stands on National Cycle Network route 14 which links Gateshead via the Derwent Path to NCN route 7 (Consett and Sunderland) at Lydgett's Junction, a short way to the south. The milepost finger to the right is pointing to Consett town centre.
The milepost is one of 1000 donated to the National Cycle Network project by the Royal Bank of Scotland. There are four designs of these mileposts - this one is an example of the "Welsh" pattern designed by Welsh artist Andrew Rowe; the design takes inspiration from the nautical and industrial heritage of the artist's native Swansea.
On the far side of the open green are two good examples of roof-mounted solar panels.
