Longclose Gate Cottage
This house stands at the north end of Longclose Bank (the bottom of the bank). It's right beside the junction with the A694, the main road from Shotley Bridge to Swalwell and Tyneside. This is a former turnpike ,so this could have been a tollhouse , as it's marked as Longclose T P on the 1862 OS map.

Memorial bench on the Derwent Path
Constructed in 1867 and running from Swalwell on the River Tyne up to Consett, the Derwent Valley railway finally closed in 1963. The footway on the line of the old railway has been converted into a cycleway and forms part of National Cycle Network route 14.
The bench commemorates Richard O'Connor, owner of the Golden Lion pub in Leadgate nearby. He was a keen cyclist and died of a heart attack at this spot on 16 October 2011. The spot is marked not only by the bench but by floral and poetic tributes.
The inscription on the bench reads:
In loving memory of Richard O'Connor
Aged 53
Died here 16-10-2011
"Where I fell is where I fly"
