Ewart Park

Brick built building with chimney, located on the outskirts of Ewart Park. Located nearby are brick kilns, built in the late 18th or early 19th century. The clay at Ewart was regarded as the best in Northumberland and the bricks from these kilns were used to build Ewart Bridge and the cottages and houses on the estate.

The building was originally built in the 1870s as a hotel for a planned railway. However, the railway was never built and the building has since been used as an outdoor centre and as farm buildings.

Pond Plantation, Thirlings

Cropmarks of six rectangular buildings were discovered by aerial photography at Thirlings. Excavations between 1973 and 1981 found they were built of timber and were similar to others found in the area that dated to the sixth or seventh centuries. Finds including an Anglo-Saxon knife and pottery suggest that this was a small Anglo-Saxon settlement although Neolithic pottery was also found.
