The Old Brickworks
The South Tyne Colliery opened a pit here in 1906 - the chimney dates from that time. After the mine closed in 1931 the site became a brick and pipe works, which operated until the early 1960s (information from Haltwhistle Burn website LinkExternal link ).
At least some of the buildings are still in use, a timber products business has workshops here LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) .
