A68 reaching Rowley from the south.
Rowley is a location in County Durham - hardly a village - with just a few houses and a church. There was a railway station here; upon the closure of the line the station was dismantled and rebuilt at the nearby Beamish Open Air Museum; the rail route is now a path and cycle way.
The style of the yellow and blue road sign is typical of many in County Durham.

Rowley crossing on the Waskerley Way
At this point, the disused Stanhope and Tyne Railway crosses the A68. The railway http://www.railbrit.co.uk/Stanhope_and_Tyne_Railway/frame.htm was built to serve the needs of the mining industries of north-west County Durham in the 19th century, and the massive ironworks at Consett. This part of the disused line is now known as the Waskerley Way, a component of the C2C cycle route which crosses northern England from coast to coast http://www.sustrans.org.uk/default.asp?sID=1094747349296 http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/.
In June 2009, floodwaters built up to the west of the embankment (towards camera), broke over the road, demolished the wall and severely damaged the house in the picture.
