Kingsgate Footbridge
Looking up at the impressive footbridge across the River Wear designed personally by Ove Arup and opened in 1963. On the far bank is Dunelm House opened three years later to house the Durham Students' Union. It is grade II listed as 'a significant Brutalist building that reflects the latest in architectural thinking for its date'.
