Along West Bridge Street past commercial properties and the glass frontage of the city library, is the Laing Art Gallery. text/html 2026-09-10T14:58:04+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.975935 -1.612834 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8402478 Once Northumberland Street in Newcastle would have been considered to be the premier shopping location of the city, now, with the Eldon Square shopping centre the main retail focal point, that's not so certain. As part of a revamp of the street six tall lighting poles have been installed; they're named Pilgrim Poles as once Northumberland Street was part of the ancient pilgrimage route to Holy Island / Lindisfarne. text/html 2026-09-10T07:29:27+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.779055 -1.563565 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8402164 The station (in Durham City) was also known as Gilesgate. The main station building still exists; it's over the wall in the image and is currently a Travelodge hotel. The dark rectangle set into the tarmac below the bricks of the wall is the iron plate of the old station weighbridge, made by H. Pooley & son of Birmingham and London. text/html 2026-09-09T23:54:20+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.772948 -1.564564 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8402119 Brooks House is student accommodation for the St. Cuthbert's Society in the Old Elvet part of Durham city. There was once a railway station at the site and there's a relic of it in the form of a wooden buffer; it's at the end of the tarmac at the centre of the image. text/html 2026-09-09T11:26:26+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.780630 -1.576764 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8401718 The 207 room hotel overlooking the River Wear in a view from Penny Ferry Footbridge. text/html 2026-09-09T10:42:31+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.789118 -1.562991 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8401709 Frankland Lane lies to the west of the River Wear near to Durham city; it's close to Frankland Farm and is probably owned there. There's a mixture of species in the field and it may well have been grown as a 'cover crop'. The foreground, pale blue flowers are chicory, (Cichorium intybus). text/html 2026-09-08T07:40:18+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.849556 -2.064757 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8400899 The field and farm buildings are close to the village of Blanchland in the valley of the River Derwent. Ruffside Moor and Edmunbyers Common are cloud-shadowed on the horizon beyond the valley. text/html 2026-09-08T07:06:12+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.866171 -2.082078 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8400892 This is an area of heather moorland north-west of Blanchland managed for grouse shooting. The moorland is part of one or more areas named on OS maps without any indication of their individual boundaries (even if they exist), are known, or understood... Blanchland Moor... Bulbeck Common... Burntshieldhaugh Common. At least the location of Longman's Grave should be known with some accuracy, but if it is, it's not apparent on maps. text/html 2026-09-07T09:10:47+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.894373 -2.101001 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8400197 Unusually, a rowan or mountain ash tree discovered in isolation; it's late summer / early autumn and its berries are fully reddened. It's found along the route of a restricted byway at the western edge of Slaley Forest. text/html 2026-09-07T08:13:54+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.886561 -2.093655 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8400164 The coniferous plantation is part of the greater area of trees known as Slaley Forest. The path is more than a pedestrian route; it's a restricted byway but the only motorised vehicles allowed to use it are motorcycles and then, only between May 1st and September 30th. text/html 2026-09-07T07:38:35+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.889254 -2.097558 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8400137 The coniferous plantation is part of the greater area of trees known as Slaley Forest. The restricted byway is open only seasonally and only to motorcycles between May 1st and September 30th of any year. text/html 2026-09-06T20:01:27+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.877673 -2.081945 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8399957 The groove which is surely the upper part of a drainage channel lies north-east of the trig point on Warlaw Pike; it has many of the major vegetation features found across north-Pennine moorlands... heather, coarse grass, bracken and the leaf-spikes of rushes. Things are missing of course... bilberry, sphagnum... and more. text/html 2026-09-05T22:53:29+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.854319 -2.064764 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8399229 The grade II listed building housed a large pumping engine which was installed to keep the local lead mine free from water, reportedly, unsuccessfully due to the cost of transporting coal to fire the boiler. It was eventually used as housing! The stand of rose bay willowherb in front of the building has gone to seed. text/html 2026-09-04T07:33:53+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.545808 -2.066437 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8398164 A discontinuous rock band connects West Hare Crag (behind the camera position) and East Hare Crag, in the distance. A wall and in places a fence, follows the line of the band coming close to it in places . The flat moorland to the right of the wall is Hare Moss. text/html 2026-09-03T17:39:25+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/39198 Trevor Littlewood 54.559625 -2.100015 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8397898 Under normal weather circumstances even in summer, the majority of the ground as far as the trees (and excepting the foreground) would be under water, stored in the Blackton Reservoir in Baldersdale. But the hot, dry summer of 2026 has seen the water level and so its area decrease significantly. This image was made at the end of August when after a few days of returning rainfall green plants have begun to grow on the previously dry reservoir bed. Of course they'll not survive the inundation that will surely come..
