Peartree farm, Chopwell
One of the farms which predate the present village of Chopwell. Until the end of the C19, Chopwell was a purely rural agricultural settlement. After this time, the colliery was sunk and housing started to be built for the mine workers. This farm was already present on the 1862 First Series Ordnance Survey map. The farmhouse shown here is obviously not from that time, but a C20 rebuild.

Farmhouse at Tongue Burns, Blackhall Mill
Old farm on the east side of the village. This is a wonderful example of a linear type farmhouse, and in a fairly unaltered condition. The left hand part of the building would have originally been a byer for cattle with a hayloft over. This was a very common type of farmstead in the C18 and early C19 in this area.

Moorland View and Mill Road, Chopwell
Semis are untypical in Chopwell. Chopwell was categorised as a "category D village" by Durham County Council. With the decline of coal-mining locally, 114 villages were classified in this way in 1951, and another seven in 1964, including Chopwell. They were left to wither and die, without economic assistance or development. The policy ended in 1977, but many still have an old fashioned air, contrasting with newer areas of commuter housing.
