St. John's Chapel Village on the A689 in Upper Weardale, Co. Durham between Ireshopeburn and Daddry Shield.  Originally a Medieval hunting stop, St. John's Chapel became a centre for lead mining in the 17th Century.  The Weardale Extension Railway had a stop here and carried limestone, flourspar, iron ore and galena (lead ore) from the mines to the industrial areas of the north-east of

England.  Passenger traffic on the railway ceased in 1953 and the line was closed to all traffic ten years later. The village is popular with cyclists being on the C2C Cycle Route Weardale Alternative.  There are two pubs here, the Blue Bell and the Golden Lion and a café, the Chatterbox. The Weardale Show is an annual event which is organised by the  Weardale Agricultural Society and is held in the last weekend in August.  https://weardale-show.co.uk                 Upper Weardale Town Hall
