Places to Live, Places to Work
Work is now complete on three of four historic buildings in the AONB which show how human activity has shaped the North Pennine landscape so that visitors to the sites can get a flavour of what life was like in the North Pennines in centuries past.
Contractors have completed months of careful consolidation work at Shildon, near Blanchland in Northumberland, Muggleswick in County Durham and Ninebanks in the West Allen Valley so that visitors can get a flavour of the times - and the people - who lived and worked in these buildings.
Later this year on-site interpretation will be added at Shildon Engine House and Muggleswick Grange and some consolidation work will be carried out at the Whitesyke and Bentyfield Mines site near Alston in Cumbria.
