Sunday morning walk from Rowlands Gill to High Spen.

Video clips recorded by Luke Honeythunder on Sunday 19th November 2023 during a walk from Rowlands Gill through Highfield to High Spen and back.
On the way back I called into The Beat n Track cafe and had a delicious cup of Hot Chocolate. Please note the cafe is Cash Only.

High Spen is an old mining village in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead, historically part of County Durham. There is an entrance to Chopwell Wood, whose Christmas Trees sales attract many visitors to the village every year. High Spen has one pub, called The Bute Arms, and had a Working Men's Club which was recently demolished. There is also a micro pub called Wigs. There is also a primary school, called High Spen Primary School. High Spen also is home to St Patrick's C of E Church.
High Spen used to have a bus depot (located off Strothers Road) that was home to the Venture Bus Company. Venture used to run services around Derwent Valley, mainly between Shotley Bridge and Newcastle. Venture, and the bus depot at High Spen, eventually passed into the hands of Northern General Transport Company, where it stayed operational until the late 1980s when it was eventually closed down.
During the First World War, two soldiers from High Spen were awarded the Victoria Cross: Lance Corporal Frederick William Dobson of the Coldstream Guards, and Private Thomas Young of the Durham Light Infantry. Other members of the village during World War Two were taken as Prisoner of War during the events of Saint-Valery-en-Caux where they were originally used to keep German soldiers back from Dunkirk to evacuate other members of the British forces.
