Station Road, St Helen Auckland
West Auckland and St. Helen Auckland are villages continuous with each other, and with Bishop Auckland. The blue and yellow road sign, in a style typical of those found in County Durham, is a recent installation.

Site of Gaunless Bridge
Gaunless Bridge, designed by George Stephenson and finished in 1823, though rebuilt in 1825 following flood damage. A lenticular truss design built 55 years before such design was patented by William Douglas in 1878. The bridge was on the original route of the S&DR to Witton Park colliery, on the western side of Brussleton Incline. Following the building of Shildon tunnel as part of the Bishop Auckland branch, a new deviation on the flat made the incline redundant and the bridge remained serving a spur only. Taken out of use in 1901 and replaced with a flat steel span the lenticular truss was later reassembled in the corner of the National Railway Museum car park.
