Amongst a batch of old family photographs once belonging to my wife’s grandfather is this portrait of three Durham coal miners. The one on the left my wife and I think is my wife’s Grandfather Tommy Wake, born on the 14th February 1890 and who died just a couple of days before his 100th birthday. Tommy looks to be in his mid teens thus dating the picture to circa 1906.
Built in 1926, this building was designed by Thomas C. Atwood and Arthur C. Nash to serve as a training facility for the Durham Fire Department. The five-story 61 foot tall building features a red brick exterior, eight-over-eight double-hung windows, oxeye windows on the first floor, an exterior metal fire escape, arched windows on the fifth floor, and a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet. The building was utilized by the Durham Fire Department to train firefighters until the 1970s, when it was replaced by a more modern facility. The building, along with the adjacent City Garage, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Today, the tower sits empty, but is maintained by the city of Durham as a historical landmark.
Durham Castle is a Norman castle in the city of Durham, England, which has been occupied since 1837 by University College, Durham after its previous role as the residence of the Bishops of Durham. Along with the Cathedral the castle is designated as a cultural World Heritage Site.

After overnight snowfall, turning to intermittent showers and occasional sunshine during the day, an East Coast Inverness-London Kings Cross service, with HST 43307 at the rear, races across Durham viaduct, greeted by a rainbow on 27th October 2012.

It's not allowed to take pictures inside Durham Cathedral, but I took this one from the cloister. Just take a look at these arches: You'll find them in several HP movies (= Hogwards) as well...:-))
This picture concludes my "Search for Harry Potter". I would like to say 'thank you' to all, who looked patiently at this set, who encouraged me with their gentle comments and awards, and who showed their appreciation for my tour into the 'Kingdom of sorcery and magic'
PS: ON 16th july, the latest HP movie will be featured; parts of this movie have been filmed in Scotland; maybe a very good reason for me, for planning my next UK-trip..:-))
The Cathedral Church of Christ, Blessed Mary the Virgin and St Cuthbert of Durham, commonly referred to as Durham Cathedral, in the city of Durham, England, is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Durham. The Bishopric dates from 995, with the present cathedral being founded in AD 1093. The cathedral is regarded as one of the finest examples of Norman architecture and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with nearby Durham Castle, which faces it across Palace Green.
The present cathedral replaces the 10th century "White Church" built as part of a monastic foundation to house the shrine of Saint Cuthbert of Lindisfarne. The treasures of Durham Cathedral include relics of St Cuthbert, the head of St Oswald of Northumbria and the remains of the Venerable Bede.
Have to admit to spending a while on the cobbles of Owengate in Durham this afternoon.
Lots of visitors making their way up to take a look around the city's magnificent Norman cathedral, then, these two youngsters passed by, pushing their bikes up the steep incline... magic!

The Nave, Durham Cathedral. A fine example of Norman Romanesque architecture in the UK. Used in many movies including the Harry Potter series and Avengers End Game !

Loving the golden glow of evening sun on sandstone, I fulfilled a childhood dream by staying in the university accommodation in this medieval castle. My window was hidden behind the trees from this view.
Details of its history and architecture are here: www.durham.ac.uk/things-to-do/venues/durham-castle/histor...
A view looking towards the Neville Screen and Rose Window. The Cathedral was built by the Normans in the 12th century. The Neville Screen behind the high alter dates from 1380. The statues which were once part of it were hidden during the Reformation but have never been found.
One of the best views of Durham Cathedral just got better after scaffolding and protective covering surrounding the 216ft (66m) central tower has been removed.
The magnificent Norman cathedral’s central tower, which in its current form, dates back to the 15th century has been closed since November 2015 while much-needed restoration work has been carried out to the heavily weathered and eroded stonework.
Installation at the Durham Lumiere festival of light, with the cathedral seen above and Durham's medieval bridges in the distance.

this street always amazes me. the old buildings and the cobbles are a great route to Durham Cathedral.
Discovered this view of Durham Cathedral last December, from a high point I'd never previously visited.
Revisited it for a spot of exercise thinking it would be good to see how it looked in the snow.
After a rather bleak and wet January, it's been good to see the snow, blue skies and sunshine these last few days. The snow and frozen ground meant that you could include a walk without the mud bath!
However, it's looking like the thaw is about to arrive with temperatures rising above freezing later this weekend and into double digits at the start of the new week.
