Durham 3 December 2022.

 

This view is of Prebends Bridge, which carries the private road known as South Bailey across the River Wear, close to the cathedral and just upstream from the weir. The bridge was designed by George Nicholson with its aesthetic appeal as key due to its location, and was completed between 1772 and 1778.

Lovely evening light.

Clear sky above Durham this afternoon. Headed down to the riverside to catch the sun in the best position for the autumn colours. Took the opportunity to get down to Durham ahead of the lockdown tomorrow.

Durham, 3 December 2022. The first fortress here was around 1072 but little remains from before 1340.

 

Construction of the cathedral started in 1093 and most was completed within forty years, although there have been later additions and alterations. This view is taken from the west side, but in the afternoon, when even the low sun was shining on the opposite side.

 

The castle was really a bishop's palace with some fortification, but despite this it was the only northern castle never to fall to the Scots; it is now part of Durham University.

This view of the River Wear is taken from Prebends Bridge (which carries the private road known as South Bailey) and shows the Durham School Boat Club premises, including the red brick boat sheds.

Durham 3 December 2022.

 

This impressive viaduct is part of the East Coast Main Line from London to Edinburgh via Newcastle, but it only became part of that route in 1872, having been completed in 1856 for what was not much more than a branch line from Sunderland to Bishop Auckland, all but two miles of which was abandoned by 1968.

The light shining through a stained glass window adds more colours to the picture.

arguably one of Northern England (and possibly Europe`s) most famous views, Durham`s historic Cathedral catching the sun`s colour as it drops below the horizon, with the Fulling Mill below and River Wear in the foreground.
