Village shop, West Pelton
This is at the crossroads in the centre of the village. This little ex mining village seems to be a reasonably thriving place, unlike some. As can be seen, it has a local bus service running to the nearby towns of Stanley and Chester-Le-Street.

Horses on the old wagonway
This field is beside the road leading from Grange Villa to West Pelton. These are two former mining villages and on the left here, can be seen the line of a former wagonway. This was a mineral line carrying coal running down from East Stanley. The two nearest horses are standing at the point where it crossed the road.
