The topics are summarised below with key issues and own voice, through a parish council, since 2003. At its first the parish council responses identified. meeting the new West Auckland Parish Council agreed to undertake a Parish Plan to ask the village what were the Employment and the local economy. There was a need to priorities for improvements. support existing jobs in the village and encourage new businesses. Maintaining the good appearance of the village was Through a village-wide questionnaire, public meetings and important to attract inward investment and encouraging the parish newsletters we have produced a document that we hope village’s tourism potential, both within the village and as a incorporates the concerns, hopes and aspirations of the village’s gateway to the dales. residents. The responses were grouped under seven topic headings-employment, transport and highways, services, crime Transport and highways. Levels of traffic, noise, pollution, and security, environment, education, leisure and recreation, pedestrian safety and illegal parking were strongly felt concerns and community. from many who responded to the questionnaire.

There was also considerable support for maintaining the post office and a wide range of local shops. Crime and security. This topic produced the most deeply expressed concerns in the public consultation, fuelled by a sense that crime and anti-social behaviour, especially amongst young people, is increasing. Supporting existing neighbourhood watch initiatives are important as well as maintaining a good liaison with police and security wardens. Ensuring a wider range of youth activity in the village, to discourage boredom and misbehaviour, was also widely supported. Environment. There is a strong local pride in the appearance of the village conservation area and a commitment to maintaining and promoting the history and heritage of West Auckland. There was support for landscape improvements especially those communal public spaces such as the village green, footpaths and river walks, recreation grounds and The Eden Arms at the west end of the green makes a major cemetery. contribution to the historic character of the village..

The village is well blessed In many cases the Parish Council, as the smallest unit in the with community buildings that, to be sustainable, need to be local government hierarchy, with only very limited financial well used and promoted. Adult education classes and the resources, can do little more than lobby, encourage and support provision of Internet facilities were requested. the implementation of much larger schemes by other partners, notably Wear Valley District Council and Durham County Community. Under this wide topic support will be given to Council. However, we feel strongly that as the village those community activities that bring the village together, eg questionnaire responses very often highlighted these larger Christmas activities and village carnival. There is also a lack of issues, it was essential that our Parish Plan embraced all those information about village events that needs to be filled. concerns that local residents expressed and not just those 2 2 Introduction West Auckland lies two miles to the south west of Bishop for their villages – what is good that should be protected, what Auckland and 11 miles to the north east of Darlington.

    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.

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.

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.

  • 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.

The audit is designed to pull together key and core information to inform future development work along the route of the 1830 Middlesbrough branch line. The report also includes recommendations for heritage led regeneration along the 1830 corridor and the site of the world’s first planned railway town at St. Hilda’s; this includes enhanced access with interpretation along the 1830 route and distinctive high quality residential uses on the site of the planned new town and new sustainable uses for the surviving new town buildings such as the Old Town Hall, The former Ship Inn and the Captain Cook inn.

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.
