View of Woodlands Park Farm
Looking west from Butsfield Lane. A farmstead established in the C20, rather surprisingly. It looks older but probably dates from the 1930's. It must have been deliberately built in a traditional style.

Woodlands Park Farm
This farm stands near the junction of the minor road from Knitsley with Longedge Lane, south of Consett. It takes its name from the near bye Woodlands Park estate. Although it looks traditional, it's not that old. It is not shown on the 1923 Ordnance Survey map, so must be later than that. From the look of it, I would guess 1930's. The farmhouse must have been deliberately built in a C19 style.

Five ways junction on Longedge Lane
This junction sees Longedge Lane crossed here by the road coming from the left from Knitsley. There is also another road on the left called Eliza Lane which runs SW to the A68.

Old outbuilding at David's Town
This ruined farmstead stands beside the minor road south from Knitsley to Longedge Lane. This old byer must have continued in use after the farm was abandoned because it's been re-roofed at some stage. On the right is the remains of an earth closet outhouse.

Pasture at David's Town
This field is remarkable for a Roman aqueduct which previously crossed it on the way to the fort at Lanchester. Better eyesight than mine is required to spot any remains on the ground. "David's Town" is actually behind the wall in the distance: a strange semi circular field enclosure.

Sheep in meadow at David's Town
Collapsed dry stone walls fixed by gates seems unethical. But cheap!
