Site of East Bushblades
The remains here of old walls and hedges are all that is left of the farmstead of East Bushblades. Although I have been familiar with this spot since the 1950's, it wasn't until recently that I looked at the 1862 First Series Ordnance Survey map and realised there had been a farm here long ago.

View south over old common land near Flint Hill
The grassland here has always been rough grazing. The old road on the left was the access road to a small colliery called the North Pit, an outlier of the larger Tanfield Lea Colliery. The site is now occupied by the modern farmstead of Low Wyndways Farm, in the centre of the picture. There is a nice view across the valley to Annfield Plain.

Fern Terrace, White-le-Head
These little bungalows were built before the last war by Stanley Council. The bus which can be seen disappearing down the road is interesting. It is the Flint Hill to Stanley service operated by Hunters bus company and is reputed to be the oldest continuously operated bus service in the world. It was started by Hunters in the nineteen twenties and they have run it ever since.
