Shotley Hall is a Grade II* listed historic mansion in Shotley Low Quarter, Northumberland, England. It was designed in the Gothic Revival architectural style by Edward Robert Robson, and its construction was completed in 1863.The nearby places of High and Low Waskerley were listed as part of the lands of Hugh de Bolbec on his death in 1262 (not to be confused with the Wakserley over the border in Country Durham). By 1313 the land was held by Walter de Huntercombe on his death and then passed into the king's hands while the lands were disputed between John De Lancsater and Ralph fitz William. In 1549 the chapel of Shotley and associated lands, including Waskerley, were granted to Sir Thomas Gargrave, of North Emsall, Yorkshire, and to William Adamson. The 1663 Book of Rates for Shotley listed the owner as Thomas Mills (listed under "Warscally or Waskerley"). During most of the 18th century the Andrews family of Shotley Hall owned the area eventually selling to the banker Arthur Mowbray of Durham in 1800 who sold off the lands in 1815. For the remainder of the century it has belonged to the same owner as Shotley Hall.

Allensford is a small country park and hamlet in County Durham, in England. It is on the River Derwent, about 2 miles SW of Consett, and 1 mile north of Castleside. Allensford was first recorded as Aleynforth in Bishop Hatfield's survey of c. 1382. The placename is sometimes listed as Allansford; "At Allansford...is a bridge over the Derwent into Northumberland, surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery on that stream; there are a few cottages on each side of the river".It is uncertain when a bridge replaced the ford. However, a bridge was in existence in the late 17th century when the structure was in a "very ruinous and in greate decay” according to the Northumberland Quarter Sessions for 1687–1697.Allensford Mill farmhouse was originally called the Belsay Castle Inn, named after the estate of the Middleton family of Belsay Castle. Part of the inn was built in the late 17th century and may have been a bastle. Later additions continued throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. The inn was licensed until 1869. The upper room in the outbuilding served as a nonconformist chapel.Denis Hayford (c.1635–1733), a pioneer of the steel industry, acquired the lease of Allensford furnace and forge in 1692; this was upstream from his established business in Shotley Bridge. The lease seems to have lapsed in 1713. The site of the furnace is marked on Ordnance Survey maps.It has a dedicated campsite. The adjacent woodland forms the Allensford Woods Local Nature Reserve, covering 17.5 hectares (43 acres).
