South Bailey, Durham
A loop of the River Wear effectively creates a peninsula on which the oldest part of Durham City stands. A street heads along it from the Market Place, first as Saddler Street, then North Bailey and finally South Bailey to the Water Gate, ahead in this picture. Beyond that is Prebends Bridge over the river. In this scene the light of a winter's afternoon is fading fast but the single street lamp seems to cast a comforting glow.
