Traveling southbound on the A19 take the third junction signposted Peterlee ( just before the Castle Eden junction ) onto Passfield Way. At the roundabout turn first left signposted Old Shotton. The property lies on the of the top of bank to your left.
HISTORY OF OLD SHOTTON
Old Shotton dates back to at least AD900 and from 1165 it was known as Scitton with an old english translation of 'the Scotts'. It was owned by the Manor of Easington which in turn was under the jurisdiction of the Prince Bishops of Durham. The farm land on which the village has always stood evolved further when in 1756 Joseph Brandling a wealthy Gosforth coal owner, married Mary Thompson and built Shotton Hall as their home. Incidentally, where recently part of what is believed to be the remains a gold Roman armlet have been found. Two years later Rowland Burdon, a wealthy merchant banker purchased Castle Eden estate. His son married Brandling's daughter so that eventually both the Old Shotton and Castle Eden estates passed to the Burdon family.
Later, another Burdon commissioned the Old Shotton Sunderland to Stockton turnpike, which now sits alongside the A19 Trunk road and made the location in those times an important gathering point for trade and sports on the village green.
Routine maintenance and improvements to the smithy cottage have covered the stone facade and most of the traditional beamed ceilings are still in situ although concealed, yet, the character of the residence is still evident with the deep window recesses and quaint nooks and crannies.
