The Market Cross, Barnard Castle
'A truly original sight and one of Barnard Castles iconic images, the octagonal 'Market Cross' a gift to the town from Thomas Breaks built in 1747.
Known affectionately in its alter ego as the 'Butter Mart' it suffers from the modern scourge of traffic as it now reluctantly accepts its role as roundabout.'
