Old bridge marker, Wearhead
The Durham Historic Environment Record (HER) https://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=D8876&resourceID=109 says that this is "a stone milestone or property marker". But a longstanding local resident told me that the "C", which is the Latin letter for 100, indicated that the river (Wear) was 100 yards (presumably Roman yards) away.
The location of this stone is shown in Image and Image

Wearhead Station and engine shed
View NW, towards buffer-stops; ex-North Eastern terminus of branch from Stanhope and Bishop Auckland. This was the Last Day of passenger services (27/6/53), but goods continued until 2/1/61 - to St John's Chapel until 1/11/65.
The train in the station, waiting to make its last journey down Weardale is an ex-NE J21 0-6-0, which probably lived in the little Shed.
