The main frontage of the hardware shop on the corner of Bridge Street and Horse Market in Middleton-in-Teesdale.
Signage says "J.Raine & son" in a very traditional style. [I believe the shop was for sale in 2020, but I don't know if it did change hands]

New gates and signage, this one asks visitors to remember that although this place is know to be an ANOB [Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty] it and the surrounding farmland still needs looking after - take your rubbish home, watch out you don't disturb wildlife etc. and no fires / BBQs.

Root mat - mass of interlocking, semi-exposed tree roots on the north bank.
Mostly pine trees in this area, if I am recalling correctly.
The surface soil and leaf litter has been worn away by people walking over the area to get closer to Low Force.
