Barns at Chopwell Mill Farm
Another of the farms which existed here before the development of the present village in the late C19, after large scale mining started. The old farmhouse, probably early C19, can be seen behind the outbuildings.

Dalton Terrace, Chopwell
With white-walled back yards. 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.
