Route of a former railway at Tanfield Lea
This farm track on the west side of Tanfield Lea village is on the route of a former railway line. It was the LNER's Tanfield Branch and operated for coal traffic from the Tanfield Moor Colliery at White-le-Head down to Tanfield and East Tanfield Collieries and on to Gateshead and the River Tyne. This top section was closed in 1947 after the closure of Tanfield Moor Colliery. The line was lifted long ago, but the route remains.

New Front Street, Tanfield Lea
A bit of a misnomer, as this was the original Front Street in the 19th century. It seems to have been renamed in the post war period after a re-alinement of the roads. The village shops etc were all along here, and still are.
