Dist:0.2km<br/>Blackburn Fell Drift Mine was opened in July 1937 and closed finally in February 1979. It employed 237 miners producing 70,000 tons of coal every year. All that remains are the ramp, with narrow gauge rail track and large amounts of concrete.

Dist:0.4km<br/>There are no obvious clues to the original use of this structure on the lefthand side (going south) of the minor road between Sunniside and High Urpeth, just after the junction with the A 6076. However, a local resident has revealed that the building was actually a cattle holding station - the paddock has gone- for loading up to go to market. The rather unfriendly sign is out of place in an area crisscrossed by public footpaths and bridleways.
