Description
"South Cleatlam is a hamlet of 50 stone fronted houses built in 1905 on either side of the road between Staindrop and Winston. It was built to house the miners who worked in a new drift mine on the southern limit of the Durham coalfield at Westholme, but this never opened. The houses have been described as a "blot on the landscape" being out of character cheap housing with the benefit of no facilities save a telephone and a post box. Little Newsham is little changed this century as it still remains the property of Newsham Hall which owns the surrounding 529 acres of mixed parkland and arable cropland. The impressive early Georgiam Hall owned by Guy Beadon has eight other dwellings,a small chapel and a smithy...." -
