The County stretches from the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in the west to the North Sea Heritage Coast in the east and borders Gateshead and Sunderland, Northumberland, Cumbria and Hartlepool, Stockton, Darlington and North Yorkshire. Although commonly regarded as a predominantly rural area, the County varies in character from remote and sparsely populated areas in the west, to the former coalfield communities in the centre and east, where 90% of the population lives east of the A68 road in around half of the County by area. The Settlement Study 2017 seeks to provide an understanding of the number and range of services available within each of the 230 settlements within County Durham. (a) Identifying the number and range of services and facilities available within a settlement is useful context to inform decision making both for planning applications and policy formulation. The range and number of services within a settlement is usually, but not always, proportionate to the size of its population. The services within a settlement will generally determine a settlement's role and sphere of influence. This baseline position provides one aspect for considering sustainability and should be used alongside other relevant, local circumstances.

    The 1825 S&DR: Preparing for 2025; Significance & Management. The 1825 Stockton & Darlington Railway: Historic Environment Audit Volume 1: Significance & Management October 2016 Archaeo-Environment for Durham County Council, Darlington Borough Council and Stockton on Tees Borough Council. Archaeo-Environment Ltd for Durham County Council, Darlington Borough Council and Stockton Borough Council 1 The 1825 S&DR: Preparing for 2025; Significance & Management. Executive Summary The ‘greatest idea of modern times’ (Jeans 1974, 74). This report arises from a project jointly commissioned by the three local authorities of Darlington Borough Council, Durham County Council and Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council which have within their boundaries the remains of the Stockton & Darlington Railway (S&DR) which was formally opened on the 27th September 1825. The report identifies why the S&DR was important in the history of railways and sets out its significance and unique selling point. This builds upon the work already undertaken as part of the Friends of Stockton and Darlington Railway Conference in June 2015 and in particular the paper given by Andy Guy on the significance of the 1825 S&DR line (Guy 2015). This report provides an action plan and makes recommendations for the conservation, interpretation and management of this world class heritage so that it can take centre stage in a programme of heritage led economic and social regeneration by 2025 and the bicentenary of the opening of the line. More specifically, the brief for this Heritage Trackbed Audit comprised a number of distinct outputs and the results are summarised as follows: A. Identify why the S&DR was important in the history of railways and clearly articulate its significance and unique selling point.

  • The Way of Life Route Gainford To
    Northern Saints Trails The Way of Life Gainford to Durham Introduction This guide gives directions for travelling The Way of Life from Gainford to Durham. All the Northern Saints Trails use the same waymark shown on the left. The total distance is 47 kilometres or 29 miles. I have divided the route into 4 sections between 11 and 14 kilometres. This pilgrimage route, along with the Ways of Love, Light and Learning, all lead to the shrine of St Cuthbert in Durham. This route would have been the closest to St Cuthbert’s final journey in his coffin from Ripon to Durham in 995. He had died over 300 years earlier, but the monks who carried that coffin believed that by his spirit he continued to be alive and to guide them. This is why this route is called the Way of Life. Water is a symbol of life, so it is appropriate that the route begins by a well and a river. Section 1 Gainford to West Auckland – 11km Gainford Gainford is an ancient site. There was a Saxon church here in the 8th century. The presence of St Mary’s Well on the south side of the present church facing the river is significant, because the early Christians often chose and cleansed sites formerly associated with pagan devotion, which often centred on springs or water courses. Fragments of Anglo-Saxon sculpture found inside and around the church are further evidence that an ancient Christian community existed on this site, whilst sculpture combining Northumbrian and Norse motifs reflects subsequent Scandinavian settlement in the region.

This report outlines a series of opportunities for heritage led regeneration along the line which through enhanced access, community events, improved conservation and management, can create an asset twenty-six miles long through areas of low economic output which will encourage visitors from across the world to explore the embryonic days of the modern railway. In doing so, there will be opportunities for public and private investment in providing improved services and a greater sense of pride in the important role the S&DR had in developing the world’s railways.

  • Way of Life (North to South)
    1 North to South Introduction This guide gives directions for travelling The Way of Life from Durham to Gainford. The Way of Life follows the same route as The Camino Ingles which starts at Finchale Priory north of Durham, so you can follow those waymarks as well as Northern Saints Trails signs. This pilgrimage route, along with the Ways of Love, Light and Learning, all lead to or from the shrine of St Cuthbert in Durham. This route would have been the closest to St Cuthbert’s final journey in his coffin from Ripon to Durham in 995. He had died over 300 years earlier, but the monks who carried that coffin believed that by his spirit he continued to be alive and to guide them. This is why this route is called the Way of Life. Water is a symbol of life, so it is appropriate that the route begins by the River Wear and ends at St Mary’s Well by the River Tees. Distances are approximate. The total distance is 47 kilometres or 29 miles. I have divided the route into 4 sections between 11 and 14 kilometres. The section numbers were originally allocated from south to north, so we start with section 4 and end with section 1. Section 4 Durham to Tudhoe - 11 kms/7 miles After leaving the cathedral facing Palace Green, turn right along the north side of the cathedral into Dun Cow Lane and then turn right to go down North Bailey which soon becomes South Bailey. There are many interesting buildings as you walk along the cobbled street, including the church of St Mary the Less on your right.

  • The Way of Life Route Description
    1 Introduction This first draft gives directions for travelling The Way of Life from Gainford to Durham. Where there is a heading in red is where there either is now or will be some extra information about a particular location. Distances are approximate. The total distance is 47 Kilometres or 29 miles. I have divided the route into 4 sections between 11 and 14 kilometres. Section 1 Gainford to West Auckland 11 km Gainford Gainford is an ancient site. There was a Saxon church here in the 8th century. The presence of St Mary’s Well on the south side of the present church facing the river is significant, because the early Christians often chose and cleansed sites formerly associated with pagan devotion, which often centred on springs or water courses. Fragments of Anglo-Saxon sculpture found inside and around the church are further evidence that an ancient Christian community existed on this site, whilst sculpture combining Northumbrian and Norse motifs reflects subsequent Scandinavian settlement in the region. These sculptures are to be found in the Open Treasure exhibition at Durham Cathedral. As the earliest church in the area, St Mary's Church is fondly regarded as 'the Mother Church of Teesdale'. The first written evidence of Gainford was produced by Simeon of Durham who tells us that Eda or Edwine, a Northumbrian chief who had exchanged a helmet for a cowl, died in 801 and was buried in the monastery at Gegenforda. There are records giving evidence to Gainford having been part of the Northumbrian Congregation of Cuthbert of Lindisfarne in Saxon times.

Local History Notebook Page last updated 09 Jan 2015 Index Background Information Search Etherley Incline 1825-1843 (Written following a walk down the Etherley incline 14th October 2011) (Updated 9th December 2013 after reading "Rope and Chain Haulage - The Forgotten Element of Railway History" Colin E. Mountford. Published by the Industrial Railway Society 2013. ISBN1901556841) The Etherley Incline was a railway incline on the Stockton & Darlington Railway between Witton Park Colliery (the terminus) and 'Etherley Top'.* Due to the steepness of the incline it was necessary to use a stationary engine (a beam engine) to haul the loaded coal wagons up the slope. They then descended under gravity to the River Gaunless (pulling the empty wagons back up on their return journey). Horses then pulled the wagons to the foot of the Brusselton incline. A further haul up the Brusselton incline and descent to Shildon was necessary before they could be attached to the locomotive to continue their journey via Darlington to Stockton. *I believe the actual incline started at the point marked 'Glebe' on the map below. The wagons were hauled by horses to this point 5. These arrangements were later modified so that the loaded wagons in descent hauled - or at least assisted - the loaded wagons ascending on the opposite incline. 14 Witton Park Etherley Top River Gaunless Brusselton Top Shildon Route profile from Witton Park to Shildon The stationary engines 7 were installed in time for the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 1825. 1 of 5 08/02/2015 21:20 Etherley Incline http://www.fivenine.co.uk/local_history_notebook/Etherley Incline/Ethe..
