New houses on Front Street
In the centre of Annfield Plain, at the north end of the main street. These houses were built a few years ago on the site of a famous old pub which unfortunately burned down. It was called the Stanhope and Tyne Railway Inn and was built in the 1830's when the railway opened. There was very little else in Annfield Plain at the time. The village name came from the inclined plane up the Loud Bank where a steam engine hauled the trucks up the slope on a wire rope.

Front Street in Annfield Plain
A view looking north along the village main street from the corner of West Road. The big building in the centre is The Queens Head Hotel. The building on the right was once a bank, one of two bank branches in the village. Both now closed, unfortunately.

The former Railway pub in Annfield Plain
This is located on the corner of Front Street and West Road, which leads off on the left of the picture. The building dates from 1899, as can be seen on the inscription over the door, when it was rebuilt. The original Railway Hotel had stood here since the 1850's. It was known as the Railway up to the 1980's, and then had various names until it closed as a pub a few years ago.

Superstore on site of Annfield Plain station?
View SW, probably on the B6168 road. The station had been where the superstore is, or just behind it. It had been on the line to Consett from Newcastle via Birtley and Ouston Junction and closed to passengers on 23/5/55 (goods 10/8/64). The line through Annfield Plain had remained active for the iron ore traffic from Tyne Dock via South Pelaw Junction, until Consett Ironworks closed in 9/80.
