Colliery memorial at Chopwell
Disused colliery winding engine wheels are often seen displayed in this way in north-eastern pit villages as a tribute to their coal mining history. This one at Chopwell is a little different in that it's a monument to those miners recorded as having suffered accidental death between 1782 and 1966.

Path to Whittonstall Road
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.

Memorial stone, Chopwell
Honouring those who worked at Chopwell Colliery from 1896. The stone stands next to a winding wheel which quotes the starting date at 1782, presumably a reference to an older colliery on the same site. Mining ceased in 1966.
