Disturbed ground at Ramshaw
Ramshaw is a dispersed location in the valley of the Bolt's Burn, a tributary of the River Derwent, itself one of the River Tyne. Historically, the valley has been heavily involved in the production of lead, both in the mining of ore and its smelting. There are ruins immediately below the camera location, a small part of them is in view at the foot of the image.

Ramshaw House beyond timber stack
The logs in this stack are aged and must have been there for some years. Certainly they've been there for quite over two years as they're surely some of those seen in this image from November 2020 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6673447 - although others have been moved.

Commerce Hall, now known as Jeffries House
Back in the 1800s when Derwent Lead Mines employed hundreds of men and the Boltsburn valley was a busy community of small farms and cottages, Commerce Hall was the shop premises for Thomas Pears and then his son William, grocers and drapers. William and his four spinster daughters kept the shop running into the 1930s and 1940s, long after the lead mining population had moved on. There's more about William Pears and the lead mining community of Ramshaw, Hunstanworth, County Durham here: http://www.hunstanworthhistory.org.uk/places/chapel.php
