Former Methodist Church in Tanfield Lea
These fine buildings were opened in 1913. They consisted of a church, and attached schoolroom and church hall. Not sure what they are being used for now that the church has closed. The third building in this row is the Community Centre.

Plaque on the Memorial Homes
These are on the B6173, the main road through Tanfield Lea village. They were built as Aged Miners' Homes in 1912 by Mrs W J Joicey in memory of her husband Major Joicey. They were the local coal owners and employed most of the men in the village.

Tanfield Lea Park Rookery
This is in reality a small wood, beside the B6173 which runs through the village. The most notable thing about this picture is something which is missing, and that is the Rooks nests. For as many years as I can remember, and that goes back to the 1950's, there was a large rookery in these trees. The birds would have been already back at their nests at this time in the early spring, but there are none now. Also, the old nests from previous years would have been in the tree tops, which means that the rookery must have been deserted from a year or so before this year. Rook numbers have been falling locally, and this is proof.
