Little used southern entrance to Biddick Hall
Biddick Hall is on the Lambton Estate and is the home of the Lambton family. This entrance leads to an avenue of trees in front of the house suggesting it was a more important and regularly used gateway in past times.
Disused railway trackbed at Bournmoor
The former Leamside route was the original main line from Darlington - Newcastle before being relegated to a secondary route when the main line took the new route via Durham and Team Valley in 1872. By the 1980s the route was little used except when work on the main line required diversions, finally closing in 1991. Though the track is lifted the line retains a ‘mothballed’ status so has not been severed or built on, and is frequently proposed for reopening either as a heavy rail route or part of the Tyne and Wear Metro.
Southern entrance to Elba Park
Elba Park is a country park established on the site of the former Lambton Colliery.
