Rear view of Tanfield Farm
This is the C18 farmhouse in the centre of the village. In former times, farms were common in the villages around here. After all, prior to the C19, they were all agricultural in origin. After the C18, farms moved away into the fields and the village farms ceased to be workings ones in most cases. Like this one, they became residential houses.

Minor road approaching Tanfield from west
As it enters the village the road passes a sign in typical County Durham blue and yellow announcing the village name. (Colours rather more subdued than usual!)
