NZ0737 : Wolsingham Constitutional Club
taken 7 years ago, near to Wolsingham, County Durham, Great Britain
Wolsingham Constitutional Club
Former Mechanics Institute, now Working Men's Club, on Angate Street at the rear of the town hall, almost hidden by a giant tea-pot and covered cups set up for Wolsingham Fair. The Mechanics Institute was built by Charles Attwood in 1875 who provided it with a large library and regular newspapers.
Wolsingham
Wolsingham is a small market town in County Durham situated where the Waskerley Beck joins the River Wear. It styles itself as the 'Gateway to Weardale'. It is an interesting and friendly place, bustling with life, but with many old and interesting buildings. It now serves a predominantly agricultural community but once had a thriving and important steel works.
My descriptions have been aided by the local book: Wolsingham: Gateway to Weardale by Elaine Ridley, Margaret Shepheard and Vivien Welsh (ISBN 0 953074 97 B)
