Dist:0.7km<br/>At the back of the overflow carpark at Milkhope Centre. There is a pathway which takes you towards the reclaimed opencast and the site of the pond in another photo. The barrier is there to prevent vehicular access, and is decorated with The Ridley family motif of a Black Bull. The buildings of Milkhope farm, now the Milkhope Centre, can be seen in this view.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Opencast coal mine operated by Banks Mining Group situated between Brenkley Lane and the Ponteland Road. The mining started in Summer 2010 with excavated material transported by dumper truck under the new Ponteland Road bridge to the north [[2530711]] to be used as infill for the Delhi site, north of the Ponteland Road adjacent to Blagdon Park, which has ceased working coal [[559220]] Coal is taken by the same route for processing and onward road transport. Gradually the site will be extended to the east with worked out areas in-filled to enable diversion of a stream which crosses the site. http://www.banksgroup.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Brenkley-Lane-Newsletter-June-2011.pdf
