A crossing of Burradon Road, B1505 near the centre of Burradon. To the left is Fryers Millennium Green, a urban renewal scheme which was approved by the Countryside Commission as a Millennium Green and was opened in 2001. Straight ahead is the line of the Burradon and Holywell Waggonway. This was one of many waggonways http://www.tynelives.org.uk/stephenson/wagmap2.htm linking former coalmines in North Tyneside with the coal staithes on the Tyne. Along with many other lengths of waggonway, this section has been converted into a cycle path in recent years and this section forms part of National Cycle Network, Regional Route 10 (the Reivers Cycle Route) http://www.cycle-n-sleep.co.uk/rinfo/map%20reivers.htm which links Tynemouth with Whitehaven via Kielder Forest and Carlisle. Ironwork street furniture, such as the barrier, is a common feature found on the restored paths.

When the second edition of the Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area was published in 1898, two public houses were named on the map, the Grey Horse Hotel and the Half Way House Inn. The Travellers Rest was not named on the map although the building appears to pre-date the map.
