Broomielaw


Broomielaw is a hamlet loacted about 2 miles north-west of Barnard Castle in County Durham, within the Civil Parish Stainton and Streatlam. It is notable that there was once a railway station here, built as a private halt for Steatlam Castle. The early 18th century farmhouse at Broomielaw is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England. By the gable of the porch of the farmhouse is a pump dated 1822, initialled J.B., probably for John Bowes, the owner of the farm and of Streatlam Estate at that time.[1]
