Description
Shown on First Edition OS plan. The building complex was accessible via an unnamed road to the south. There was an L-shaped main building with a possible gin gang to in north. A smaller, Z-shaped building was located to the north-east of it. In 1968 it still retained its original shape. Demolished soon afterwards during the development of the new Killingworth township. Each stone of the farmstead was numbered and rebuilt as a public house and community room. The public house was recorded in 2017 ahead of its demolition.
