Gin gang at West Farm, Chopwell
This former farm is at the north end of the present village. Prior to the founding of Chopwell colliery in the early C20, this was the centre of the small hamlet called West Chopwell. The rest of the village was built after the pit opened. This picture shows a former gin gang against the barn to the right. All now converted to residential use. A gin gang was a building which contained a horse engine which powered a threshing machine in the adjacent barn. They were common in the early C19, which would date these buildings.

West Farm, Chopwell
This stands at the bottom of Clayton Terrace, beside the junction with Hall Road. This was at the centre of the hamlet of West Chopwell which was all that existed here prior to the building of the colliery village to the south after 1900. These buildings formed the main C19 farm range, with the right hand portion probably being the original farmhouse. All have now been converted to residential use.
