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

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.

    The first 75 years! Photographs: (above) the lost village of Burnhope in upper Weardale as it appeared in the 1930s when Durham Rural Community Council was formed, and (right) the scene today, with the village long since submerged beneath the waters of Burnhope Reservoir. A Community News supplement 75 years of history and a promise for the future Way back in 1935, during the depression years when 30% of the county’s workforce was unemployed ‘The National Council for Social Service’ (the Government agency of the day) recognised a need for social support for the unemployed. This led to the creation of ‘The Community Service Council for Durham County’ (now DRCC). Pictured below is a 1975 staff photograph taken at Hallgarth House in Durham, to mark the 40th anniversary of the organisation. Miss Ivy Fox takes centre stage. Miss Fox, who gave 40 years of service, remains our longest ever serving member of staff. That kind of dedication shines today as projects may come and go but it’s our people who make the difference - often going the extra mile to deliver more than is expected. 1935 - ’Community Service Over the years we have proven ourselves to be flexible, adaptable and Council for Durham County responsive and pride ourselves in having responded to the needs and problems Limited’ founded of the time – through the good times and, as now, full circle to a time when (forerunner of DRCC) the going gets a bit tough. 1936 - Abdication of King Through these pages we hope to give a glimpse of our history - the work done, Edward VIII the experience gained, the appreciation of communities where we have worked.

  • County Durham Landscape Character Assessment
    THE DURHAM LANDSCAPE The Durham Landscape Physical influences Human influences The modern landscape Perceptions of the landscape Designated landscapes 7 THE DURHAM LANDSCAPE PHYSICAL INFLUENCES Physical influences The Durham landscape is heavily influenced by the character of its underlying rocks, by the effects of erosion and deposition in the last glacial period, and by the soils that have developed on the post-glacial terrain under the influence of the climatic conditions that have prevailed since then. Geology The geology of the county is made up of gently folded Carboniferous rocks dipping towards the east where they are overlain by younger Permian rocks. In the west, thinly bedded sandstones, mudstones and limestones of the Carboniferous Limestone series (Dinantian period) outcrop in the upper dales and are overlain by similar rocks of the Millstone Grit series (Namurian period), which form most of the upland fells. The alternating strata of harder and softer rocks give a stepped profile to many dale sides and distinctive flat-topped summits to the higher fells. Older Ordovician rocks, largely made up of pale grey mudstones or slates showing a degree of metamorphism, occur in a small inlier in upper Teesdale. The rocks of the Millstone Grit series are overlain in the north by the Lower and Middle Coal Measures (Westphalian period) which fall from the upland fringes to the lowlands of the Wear and dip under the Permian Limestone in the east. The soft and thinly bedded strata of coal, sandstone and mudstone have been eroded to form gently sloping valley sides where occasional steeper bluffs mark thicker beds of harder sandstones.

  • The Kiplings of Middleton-In-Teesdale
    The Kiplings of Middleton-in-Teesdale John Kipling In the listing of the pews in the parish church in 1595, John Kipling had a pew in row 8 of the Eggleston allocation (1987 N&D FHS v12, 3). Eggleston is a village in the parish of Middleton. John probably married Agnes Lockey in 1608 at Romaldkirk. Children may have included Margrett (D&VM 1613). Two other sons, Anthony and Charles, were probably both baptised at Barnard Castle in 1615. A Tobias Kipling was baptised at Romaldkirk in 1619, the son of John Kipling of Eggleston. On a 1614 map of the Manor of Egglestone, “Jo’ Kiplins Myllholm meadow: free” can be seen. In 1624, John Kipling of Eggleston was one of those who signed the inventory of Arthur Kipling of Pitcherhouse. John later moved (returned?) to Baldersdale - see ‘17th century Baldersdale Kiplings’ http://kipling.one-name.net/17th%20Century%20Baldersdale%20Kiplings.pdf -----ooooo----- In 1600, William Kipling “late of Bog House” (a farm in Eggleston), yeoman, is named in a court case, suggesting that he had recently moved to Beamish Park, just south of Newcastle. He may be the William Kipling of Newhouses, at that time the eldest son of the tenant John Kipling. Surtees Society -----ooooo----- Two marriages are the first two surviving entries in the Middleton register. It is not known whose daughters these are but they are probably related to Lionel (below), possibly his sisters.
