The Towneley Arms PH

The Towneley Arms Public House is shown on the first Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1862 at the junction where the Rowlands Gill Turnpike Toll House (HER3579) for the Rowlands Gill to Burnopfield Road (HER3583) was located. It is shown as an irregular rectangular building with another smaller building to the north and a garden to the south. It survived the construction of the Derwent Valley Railway (HER1019) immediately to the west in the 1860s, but was demolished in the later 20th century. The site is now occupied by modern housing.
