NZ1651 : New houses on Front Street
taken 7 years ago, near to Annfield Plain, County Durham, England

New houses on Front Street
In the centre of Annfield Plain, at the north end of the main street. These houses were built a few years ago on the site of a famous old pub which unfortunately burned down. It was called the Stanhope and Tyne Railway Inn and was built in the 1830's when the railway opened. There was very little else in Annfield Plain at the time. The village name came from the inclined plane up the Loud Bank where a steam engine hauled the trucks up the slope on a wire rope.
