Quernhow Cafe Built on the site of a bronze age burial mound circa 1900 BC - called Quernhow. This cafe is to be found on the A6055. This used to be the northbound carriageway of the A1 (Great North Road), but has now been downgraded because of the construction of a new motorway that runs side by side. Business, as consequence must have diminished, as there is no access from the new road.
