Streets of Durham

Durham is a very old city, with settlements going back over 2000 years and the present city going back to 995 CE, when monks carrying St Cuthbert's body had enough/saw a sign and buried him here on the high ground of the peninsula where the Durham cathedral now stands.

 This is looking West on the pedestrian Framwellgate footbridge looking at the outside of Durham castle.

 This is the slowly inclining road from the end of the footbridge going into the old town.

 The market place with shops and such.

 The buildings on the peninsula are mostly in this style.

Tin of Sardines, which advertises as having the largest selection of gin in the city but is probably the smallest gin bar in the world. It was located on the peninsula side of...

 ...this footbridge, on Elvet.

 On the opposite side of the bridge was this pub, the Swan and Three Signets. The British have great names for their pubs.

 This was the old town hall but it is being converted to a hotel.Nice brick work.

 The Dun Cow Inn next to the Durham Masonic Lodge.
