  • Historic Environment Audit Appendix 2. West Auckland to Shildon
    The 1825 Stockton & Darlington Railway: Historic Environment Audit Appendix 2. West Auckland to Shildon. October 2016 Archaeo-Environment for Durham County Council, Darlington Borough Council and Stockton Council. The 1825 Stockton & Darlington Railway: Historic Environment Audit: West Auckland to Shildon. Introduction This report is one of a series covering the length of the 1825 Stockton & Darlington Railway. It results from a programme of fieldwork and desk based research carried out between October 2015 and March 2016 by Archaeo-Environment and local community groups, in particular the Friends of the 1825 S&DR. This appendix covers the second 5.1km (3.17 miles) stretch between the Gaunless Accommodation Bridge at West Auckland and Shildon (figure 1). It outlines what survives and what has been lost starting at the north and heading south east to Shildon. It outlines the gaps in our knowledge requiring further research and the major management issues needing action. It highlights opportunities for improved access to the line and for improved conservation, management and interpretation so that the S&DR is a visitor destination of national and international importance. © Crown copyright 2016.

Historic Background At 7am, on the 27th September 1825, 12 waggons of coal were hauled from the Phoenix Pit at Witton Park to the foot of Etherley Ridge, and pulled up the North Bank 1,100 yards by a stationary engine.

  • Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from Gravity Survey and Structural Inversion

Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from gravity survey and structural inversion Rob Westaway 1,*, Sean M. Watson 1, Aaron Williams 1, Tom L. Harley 2, and Richard Middlemiss 3 1 James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, James Watt (South) Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. 2 WSP, 70 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1AF, UK. 3 School of Physics, University of Glasgow, Kelvin Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. * Correspondence: [email protected]; Abstract: The Butterknowle Fault is a major normal fault of Dinantian age in northern England, bounding the Stainmore Basin and the Alston Block. This fault zone has been proposed as a source of deep geothermal energy; to facilitate the design of a geothermal project in the town of Bishop Auckland further investigation of its geometry was necessary and led to the present study. We show using three-dimensional modelling of a dense local gravity survey, combined with structural inversion, that this fault has a ramp-flat-ramp geometry, ~250 m of latest Carboniferous / Early Permian downthrow having occurred on a fault surface that is not a planar updip continuation of that which had accommodated the many kilometres of Dinantian extension. The gravity survey also reveals relatively low-density sediments in the hanging-wall of the Dinantian fault, interpreted as porous alluvial fan deposits, indicating that a favourable geothermal target indeed exists in the area.

  • Viability Testing of Housing Allocations Within the County Durham Plan
    Viability testing of Housing Allocations within the County Durham Plan Completed on behalf of Durham County Council CP Viability Ltd Independent Property Experts Viability testing of Housing Allocations within the County Durham Plan CP Viability Ltd October 2018 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. CP Viability Ltd (‘CPV’) has been instructed by Durham County Council (‘the Council’) to undertake individual viability assessments of 41 housing allocations as identified within the ‘Preferred Options’ stage of the County Durham Plan. The main purpose of this exercise is to provide supporting evidence that the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (‘NPPF’) and Planning Practice Guidance (‘PPG’), as published in July 2018, have been met. 1.2. The 41 sites identified for the purposes of the study can be categorised as follows: 22 sites under the ownership of the Council. 1 site under the ownership of another Public Sector Body. 14 sites under private ownership. 4 sites in mixed ownership between public and private sector bodies. 1.3. The Council requires a detailed viability assessment, taking into account the specific circumstances of each site. These assessments are to be consistent with the methodology and the broad assumptions of the Council’s recent ‘Local Plan Viability Testing’ study, which tested the viability of the Council’s emerging policies (albeit taking into account the specific circumstances of each site). 1.4. In accordance with the RICS, prior to accepting this instruction we can confirm that we undertook a conflict of interest check. Having undertaken this review we are unaware of any conflict of interest that prevents CP Viability from undertaking this instruction.

  • 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.

  • Borough of Darlington Listed Buildings
    EXTRACTS FROM THE LISTS OF BUILDINGS OF SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL OR HISTORIC INTEREST FOR THE BOROUGH OF DARLINGTON Updated 01/11/2016 Economic Initiative Division Darlington Borough Council INTRODUCTION WHAT THIS DOCUMENT REPRESENTS This document consists of an export from a Listed Buildings database maintained by Darlington Borough Council. The data has been captured from various statutory lists that have been compiled over the years by the Secretary of State for different parts of the Borough. Some of the information has been amended for clarity where a building has been demolished/de- listed, or an address has changed. Each entry represent a single ‘listing’ and these are arranged by parish or town. The vast majority of entries are in one-to-a-page format, although some of the more recent listings are more detailed and lengthy descriptions, spilling over to 2 or 3 pages. BACKGROUND The first listings, in what is now the Borough of Darlington, were made in 1952. The urban area was the subject of a comprehensive re-survey in 1977, and the rural area in 1986 (western parishes) and 1988 (eastern parishes). A number of formal changes to the lists have been made since, as individual buildings have been ‘spot-listed’, de-listed, had grades changed, descriptions altered and mistakes corrected. Further information on conservation in the Borough of Darlington can be found on our website. See www.planning.gov.uk/conservation. NAVIGATING THIS DOCUMENT Unfortunately there is no index to this document in its current format. Please use the text search facility provided in your PDF Viewer to find the entry that you require.
