Quarry of 'Weardale Works'

Weardale has seen massive amounts of rock quarried from its sides and no larger working exists in the valley than the old Blue Circle, later Lafarge operation on the south side which supplied limestone by conveyor to the cement works at Eastgate; OS mapping names the area as 'Weardale Works'. Soon after the Lafarge purchase quarrying and cement manufacture ceased and the cement works at Eastgate was erased. Similarly the quarrying operation ended and the quarry area has been landscaped. Once a public footpath cut across the north end of the quarry site; it was closed during the period of extraction but it seems that it might be reopened in the future; the image here was taken from the probable line of the path and shows distantly part of the quarry face beyond nearer workings.

Ludwell Wood lies to the east of the valley of Western Hope; it's seen in this image from an estate road to the south on the same side of Western Hope.

Field west of Howl John

The field with grazing sheep is in Weardale between the villages of Eastgate and Stanhope; it lies immediately west of the curiously named farm at Howl John. Other fields and clumps of trees lie beyond to the south before a slope rises to grassy moorland.

Eastgate: approaching former station, 1995

View NW across a temporarily closed bridge over the River Wear, to the ex-NER Bishop Auckland (to left) - Wearhead (to right) line. Eastgate station and the service to Wearhead closed to passengers from 29/6/53, but goods continued until 1961, to Westgate until 1/7/68 and (for cement) from Eastgate until 17/3/93. The line was mothballed until 2004, then acquired as a heritage operation by the Weardale Railway for progressive restoration.
