Wheelbirks
Wheelbirks is a hamlet in Northumberland, located about 1 mile south-west of Hindley. Wheelbirks Farm is a gothic style building of 1868. The farm has a herd of Jersey cows and produce ice cream, with an ice cream parlour and coffee shop, which opened in 2010. Across the fields, to the south of the farm, on the banks of Stocksfield Burn, are the remains of a 17th century (or earlier) blast furnace (Grade II listed).[1] Wheelbirks Lane is a byway, which links Lower-fotherley on the A68 (Healey Parish) with the B6309 road, near Wheelbirks Farm.
