Bricked-up windows, Morpeth
An oddly shaped building at the start of the B6343 road to Mitford. It looks as if it may have been used for some form of industry.

Joseph Webb Sewer Gas Destructor Lamp
This was no ordinary gas lamp, this was Victorian engineering at its finest, and recycling well ahead of its time. Very few examples of these lamps remain, designed to draw foul gases from the sewers and burn them off, thereby not only eradicating the smell, but also providing additional light. This is probably the most northerly example of its kind. It has been converted to electrical power and has lost part of one of its ladder bars. For an excellent view of the lantern of one of these lamps see

High Stanners Bridge, Morpeth
When the first Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area was published in 1866 there was no footbridge crossing of the River Wansbeck at this point. However, by the time of the publication of the second edition of the map in 1898, a footbridge had been built here. The bridge is now part of a designated public footpath.
