Shaped gable end, Northgate
This is the south end of Northgate Terrace in Annfield Plain. The terraced street joins the cross street at an angle and the house has been continued right to the boundary line, resulting in this interestingly shaped gable end. The street is Edwardian in date, like much of the old village centre.

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.
