Rowantree House, Jeffrey's Rake
Up until the 1880s the Bolts Burn valley near Hunstanworth in County Durham was a busy lead mining area, and all the farmhouses and cottages "Rakeside" would have been inhabited by families that mined and farmed for a living. Now many of these houses stand derelict, their names disappearing from the maps as they slowly fall into ruin. Alan Murray of Blanchland is possibly the last person to have been born at Rowantree House - you can read his story here LinkExternal link
