  • Co Durham Sheet 6.07 Lobley Hill & Low Streetgate 1895 - published 2017; intro by Anthea Lang. ISBN.978-1-78721-030-1

    This detailed map covers a largely rural area around and to the west of Lobley Hill, stretching to Low Streetgate and Broom Lane.

    Features include a stretch of the Tanfield Railway, Marshall Lands, Fugar Bar, Marquis of Granby pub, Washingwell Wood, Ponticherry, Trench Hall, Whickham Hill.
