Show on map This pump stands in the middle of the village green, it doesnt work as its also a flower pot.
The plaque on the rear records it was donated by Dr and Mrs G Rider in July 2000 to commemorate the millenium.
Show on map A number of the houses around the village green in Hutton Rudby have date stones from the 1700s
A booklet about the village by Alice Barrigan suggests the house dated 1745 was once a pub, possibly called the William IV, it still has a horse mounting step outside.
This stone names David & Everell Simpson – AD 1754
Nearby Mary Tunssall – AD 1755
I alwasy find it fascinating that most small villages usually contain buildings that pre-date events such as the creation of the USA.
Show on map This decorative tower was designed by Walter Brierley 
The inscription records the fact that Sir Hugh Bell built the tower in 1915 to supply water to Arncliffe and Rounton. The Bell family being heavily involved in iron and steel making in Teesside.
Dr Tony Power tells me George Walker Milburn carved the Coat of Arms over the entrance door to the Tower in 1915, for Sir Hugh Bell, at a cost of £17 0. 0.
In front the doorway are some colored stones which spell out “H&FB 1915” which are the initials of Sir Hugh Bell and his wife Florence
Show on map A painted advertisement for ‘Pouf’ insect killer made by Domestos, I would guess it dates from the 1960s but its in superb condition.
Thanks to Mike for telling me about this one.
Show on map This natural spring is found just by the side of the road and features a lions head and the remains of a chain where a cup has been attached.
There are a number of plaques with some unusual inscriptions.
Man made the trough
The water God bestows
Then praise his name
From whom the blessing flows
John Allan
Hempsyke 1856
Weary stranger here you see
An emblem of true charity
Richly my bounty I bestow
Made by a kindly hand to flow
And I have fresh supplies from heaven
For every cup of water given
John Allan
Hempsyke 1858
The stream is pure as if from heaven it ran
And while I praise the Lord I’ll thank the man
Tramp 1864
Show on map This sulpherous spring can be found between the river and the A67 just outside Gainford
It was apparently an 1840 borehole for coal (or 1834 from a different source) and with the addition of a railway link sparked some minor interest in Gainford as a Victorian spa town.
The spa fell into disrepair and was vandalised but was then thankfully restored in 2002, the original bowl now stands nearby as a memorial to those involved.
Show on map This small packhorse bridge stands where Marton West Beck meets Newham Beck
Its known as Devils Bridge as there was supposedly a cloven hoof mark on one of the stones, but I was unable to locate it, I suspect its long since worn away.
Show on map Keld Hole is an attractive waterfall falling over much the same geology as the nearly one at Roxby Mill
It probably doesnt get many visitors as its below the footpath and difficult to approach.
Show on map Scaling Dam is unmissable, it was built in 1958 and apparently decomission in 1995 (which was news to me)
A short distance away in Scaling is the Filter House, which still looked like it was maintained by Northumbria Water despite being a little tatty.An aerial view shows a number of overgrown settling ponds to the west.
Show on map This folly carved from a single sandstone boulder can be found in the woods between Littlebeck and Falling Foss
The GC 1790 inscription above the entrance relates to George Chubb
The interior has also been heavily inscribed over the years.
