THE RIVER WEAR AND COUNTY DURHAM Let’s get out this summer and enjoy our local history. What link is there between Penshaw Monument and the Lambton Worm? The answer is - geology.
The 60-mile-long Wear rises in the Pennines at Wearhead from the joining of Killhope Burn and Burnhope Burn. As the river heads east the land is in agricultural use, sheep and upland cattle rearing in the west moving into mixed
Between Durham City and Chester-le-Street, the river Wear today changes direction many times. As it reaches Chester-le-Street, the river flows past Lumley Castle and the ground of Durham County Cricket Club. Passing near Lambton Castle the river becomes tidal and navigable. On exiting the Lambton estate the river passes below Worm Hill, around which the Lambton Worm is reputed to have curled its tail. The course of the Wear, until the last Ice Age, was much as it is today, as far as Chester-le-Street. But ice, which blocked the Wear in today’s Team valley, pushed the Wear eastwards where it cut a gorge through a
limestone plateau to reach the sea at Sunderland. This limestone contains large fossils of reefs from the tropical Zechstein Sea, which are fascinating things to find on the beach at South Shields. Along its western side, the plateau has a steep-sloping edge running from South Shields to Heighington. This escarpment, or edge, includes the Cleadon Hills, and knolls such as Penshaw, Carr Hill and Downhill. Sandstones, called Yellow Sands, are found the bottom of this escarpment. These sands are the remains of desert dunes long ago. On the sea coast, the limestone forms an almost continuous line of sea cliffs, with a number of sea-stacks, including Marsden Rock, and a series of sea caves, for example in the Crimdon area. Take a stroll along the Wear’s banks at any point and enjoy the feeling of walking on the once tropical or once arctic landscape of County Durham.

County Durham has a dramatic geological history, including a stint as a desert, and one as an arctic outpost. Millions of years ago the county was bathed on the shores of the Zechstein Sea, a tropical salty sea like today’s Red Sea with large reefs, which now form the eastern half of County Durham. Perhaps the most dramatic effect of all this has been on the river Wear - which has had a chequered career, being forced into three different exits into the North Sea.
arable farming in the east. The river flows through Weardale; and, before the last Ice Age, it reached the sea at Hartlepool, but it was later pushed northward, and forced to pour into the Tyne through Gateshead’s Team valley.

Durham & Wearside Pals

Durham Street - Martyn Dunbar
In many ways the Durham & Wearside Pals were typical of Kitchener’s New Army of volunteers in 1914 and like so many others they played their part in one of the most devastating battles in our military history, the Battle of the Somme. Included in the selection are histories of both the 12th & 13th Battalion of the Durham Light Infantry, the 18th, 19th & 22nd Battalions of the Durham Light Infantry and the 20th Battalion of the Durham Light Infantry during the First World War, including their involvement in the battle two another titles which take a closer look at the battleground itself and which can act as a guide to those who would wish to visit the battlefield and maybe even walk in the footsteps of an ancestor.
www.durhammagazine.co.uk
All the books are illustrated, the histories with images of the men both as part of their regiment and in the trenches and the guides with maps and diagrams of the fighting. For anyone wanting to know more about a relative that fought in this battalion or in the Serre area of the Somme or for those who just want to know more about those brave men from Leeds who fought for King and Country, these books will prove invaluable.

This Joseph - Flash Fiction By Rob Walton
THIS JOSEPH, THIS JOE
This is how it happened. There were these intentions, but the thing that mostly happened was embracing the soft cotton comfort of the hoodie. So soft. And the thing that leastly happened was the setting of the alarm on the phone, and that became one of the things that got Joe into the bad books of Alison Parr.
And of course what really occurred was this bloke, Joseph, was tired, having been out at work most of the night and he had this daughter, Ali, and he was picking her up from his estranged wife’s house because it was Friday and Friday had always been his day to take her to school. And this Friday was special because it was the end of the half term and Ali was going on a school trip and every Friday for weeks she’d talked about it and talked about it. It so happened that Joe had to be woken up by his daughter and her mum knocking on his cousin’s car window, but he still took his daughter to school and said he would pick her up at the end of the day and she could tell him all about the trip.
So what happened was that about an hour later this class was waiting for the train to come, and it was pouring with rain. This girl, Alison Donoghue, her hair got wet and got frizzy and she got inconsolable because this girl had a real thing about her hair, because she was afraid because of the girl in Mrs Martin’s who got alopecia and ended up having to go to another school. And she’d been looking forward to this trip but the local trains weren’t running because in the night some people – and it’s all right, they got them on CCTV – these people stole the cable so the system stopped working. And it happened that when this dad picked his daughter up she was in a right state emotionally and she’d also got this terrible cold and he didn’t have enough clean and dry clothes for her to change into. So when he took her back to her mother’s the following day she was in a foul mood for the birthday party her mum had spent the whole week arranging. These things happened roughly like this to these people who mostly lived in Durham and mostly lived in fear.
www.durhammagazine.co.uk
I believe these were the events, or some of them. Alison woke up and woke Alice and got the hair things ready. At six years old Alice was very particular about her hair. Alison remembered the time when Alice spat and swore about the wrong clips. Alice bit her nails while her mum sorted her hair. Alison bit her tongue.
I heard it went pretty much like this. There was this bloke, Joe, in this car, right, and he measured a tab against the top of the window and that was how far he opened it. Then he lit it and as the tab got smaller, and the ash went on this dirty grey hoodie, he closed the window, so all the time the window was only open to a gap the size of the tab. As more and more smoke came in the car, this bloke, Joe, closed the window more and more.
Your Free July / August 2016 Durham Magazine
It happened like this. Joe got a job – and how Joe needed one. He’d been reduced to bumming tabs outside the Court Inn. This job went well, and he was holding folding, but he was dog tired. So he drove straight from the job, closing his eyes when he went past the prison, clipping the kerb like he always did, and found himself outside his ex’s home where he fell asleep in the car. He sat outside in this cousin’s car, and pulled the grey hoodie up over his head, and set the alarm on his phone, like we were saying, and fell asleep.

HOUSE
By Syd Peck
IN COUNTY DURHAM Britain’s Anglo-Saxon divisions are usually called “shires” such as Yorkshire, Derbyshire, etc, reflecting their semi-autonomous governance under their Norman overlords in the Middle Ages. But Durham is not a shire. There is no really clear explanation why, but In the Middle Ages Durham was important as a buffer statelet between England and Scotland. After the Norman invasion, the Bishop of Durham became known as a Prince Bishop, with his own army, coinage, etc., on condition that he stayed loyal to the Norman Kings and helped protect the northern frontier. So the area between the Tyne and Tees was called a county. The word “county” comes from French comté meaning a territory under the rule of a count or prince.
And a lot of French survives today in place names in County Durham. Some are historically reliable, but some are just spoofs. Several places which have genuine historical French origins contain the French word “le”, meaning “near” or “on the”. These places are mostly in the Wear valley, such as Chester-le-Street , Dalton-le-Dale, Haughton-le-Skeme, Houghton-le-Side, and Witton-le Wear. And there are lots of others. These historically genuine place names have given rise to illegitimate copycat forms like Hetton-le- Hole and Houghton-le Spring. And one which simply picked up its “le” by tradition - Hartlepool. There are a few other places in Britain with this sort of French historical connection. One or two in South Yorks, and a few in Lancashire such as Clayton-le-Woods, Poulton-le Fylde, and Bolton-le-Sands near Preston. But the dense concentration of such Frenchified places in County Durham is unique in Britain.
A developer looked at the damp patch and the cracks in the kitchen extension and thought how he much he could take off the asking price. He would sort it all out with litres of neutral magnolia and bugger the original features. He thought he could tart it all up and have tenants in by the end of the month. The stairs tripped him up and such was the extent of his bad tumble and following surgery he never got to make the offer. He tried to sue the estate agents for taking him into a Continued on next page ->

Now it happens that Ireland too wasn’t invaded by the Anglo-Saxons but was conquered by the Normans, and so its divisions too were called counties. That’s why we find today that areas under direct French-Norman rule Ireland and Durham - were called counties. Hence County Durham, County Cork, County Armagh, etc. Notice the word “county” goes before the
descriptive name because French reverses the position of the describing words.

THE FRENCH CONNECTION
The house laughed as he heard the estate agent say "As far as I know, no one has died here" as he led folk round the property but the walls screamed back "Little, do you know!" Jayne looked at the pompous bloke in astonishment. Nobody else seemed to have taken account of the absurd comment. There were "Oohh's and Aaahh's as the fireplaces and original features were pointed out. The fireplace in the bedroom said "I don't belong here" and the ceiling rose said "I was torn from my home, take me back" Jayne noted the broken tiles on the fireplace and the large size of the ceiling rose that didn't suit the dimensions of the room. The fabric of the house felt her sympathy and wanted to welcome her. The drafty original sash windows rattled their enthusiastic hello and a couple frowned at the cold, and moved away knowing that this was not the home for them and their baby-to-be.

House Part 2
Your Free July / August 2016 Durham Magazine
dangerous building but no trip hazard could be found. The garden was ashamed of her unkempt appearance. Her shrubs and hedges had not been trimmed for many a long year, and her borders were overgrown. A bench was covered in moss and a plank broken. The damp winter morning added nothing. A shed that held treasure was completely hidden, even though it shouted "I'm here, look at me". An older couple looked at the chaos and could not imagine how they would create a calm space that would be easy to maintain. They looked back at the house and saw the broken roof tiles winking at them. They decided the soulless bungalow on the corner plot they had seen earlier was the one for them.

Eight weeks later as the removal van drew up the bricks drew together to hug Jayne and keep her warm. The floor boards creaked a greeting as she looked at the message in the lines of the oak. The men whistled as they worked carrying in the old brown furniture that felt safe as it lent into the comfort of the walls. After a long tiring day Jayne made up her bed and got in between the sheets. The house sang a soft lullaby as she drifted off to sleep and she did not stir until the morning sunshine hit her face as the curtains gently lifted to tell of the day ahead. By Carolyn M Batcheler
ZOE BIRKETT If you think about just some of the big names that have come from the north east in any field related to performance either being acting, singing, presenting such as: - Sting - Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) - Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot) - Cheryl Cole - Brian Johnson (AC/DC) - Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer The list can quite literally go on. And if there is any form of correlation with these great stars, it’s that they all had to, at some point, leave the north east to aspire and achieve their dreams. I myself was the exactly same and can completely relate. When I think back to my pop idol days and watching my parents travel week in week out to London and the costs that must have incurred to them just so they can keep supporting me and allow me to follow what I believe. Overall it can get costly and
very expensive. And if some people can’t make those journeys due to income and costs etc why should they be restricted on their dreams. So what I intend to do is bring all of that talent that you are expected to chase and travel for, to your door step, Dancers who have worked with some of the world’s biggest stars, actors that have worked on some of the world’s biggest shows, dancers that have performed and choreographed on some of the world’s biggest TV shows and stages. Get these people who have the training, experience and understanding of showbusiness and effectively pass that knowledge on to the aspiring stars of the north east, ignite that spark for them so they can for that one weekend know what it’s like, and what they need to do as their next steps to go on achieve as much of their dreams as they desire. It’s all about enhancing their passion, letting their imagination run wild with
Science Corner
AC A D E M Y ideas. I want to help push that confidence for those people, help them get an understanding of what they need to do so they can get to where they want to be. I want to bring a taste of what London and indeed some of the biggest cities in the world have to offer to the North east So what I would say to all parents who see their child or children singing in front of the mirror, that teenager that aspires to be in a west end show or dance on stage, that actor that wants to be in a British soap come down and
get a feel for what the Zoe Birkett Academy can offer. I’m passionate about this new venture, I’m convinced that there are so many of you out there that can be huge stars but settle with average. This workshop, is a snippet of what I intend to do with aspiring stars. So come and enjoy something where you literally have nothing to lose but everything to gain

Professor Hungin said it was “a real privilege to take up this position with the BMA, especially at a crucial time for the NHS and the medical profession. I hope that my experience as a GP and more recently in medical academia will help me to bring a distinct perspective to take this role forward.” Professor Hungin grew up in Kenya and is a graduate of Newcastle upon Tyne Medical School. He trained to be a GP in the North-East of England and at the University of Ontario in Canada. In 2000 he earned an OBE for his services to research. Professor Hungin added, “I very much look forward to working with the BMA over the coming year to promote the values of clinicians and patients, the role of the doctor in modern society and the NHS that we all cherish.”

A DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE It is difficult to imagine Durham City without our University with its imposing colleges, totally inclusive student population, and the wealth of cultural benefits that they bring to the City, plus the welcome employment created by their presence. www.durhammagazine.co.uk
The University of Durham is the third oldest university in England having been founded in 1832 and has a fine reputation that extends around the entire World. Theological teaching began in the rein of Henry the 8th and in 1657 Oliver Cromwell issued
The Institute of Advanced Study, Bishop Cosin's Hall a letter patent raising the status to that of a University, although because Oxford and Cambridge Universities were worried about the competition the University of Durham it was not fully recognised as such until 1832. Some would say that the University of Durham is a match for any university in the world, who are we to disagree? Presently there are 17 colleges, but did you know that there was a "Cosin's College" which only lasted for 13 years, in the mid-19th century, eventually closing its doors due to lack of demand? The stated intention of the University was and is to this day to provide higher education to ‘the great and growing population of Northern England’. Being less costly than its Oxbridge rivals the University of Durham had great appeal. So much so that wealthier students from the North East arrived driving up costs due to their lavish lifestyles and limiting access for those less well off. As remedy Hatfield College, named after Bishop Hatfield, Bishop of Durham 1345 to 1381, was established to provide access to the University for those less well-off students seeking a Durham University education. Hatfield’s College students once lived in the Archdeacons Inn, now a library, which probably explains the student tradition of frequenting the
local taverns to this day. The plan for Hatfield Keep was for an observatory and museum. Up until 1906 the Bishops of Durham owned the Castle allowing them to remove themselves from the student populations no doubt to the benefit of all concerned. The early University concentrated on teaching: Greek, Divinity and Oriental Literature, Moral Philosophy, Classical Literature, Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, History, English Literature, Anatomy and Medicine, Law, Natural History, Chemistry and Geology. Today’s students benefit from a vast array of topics and research opportunities at the Faculty of Social Science & Health, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Science. Two famous, but probably not the most well-known, graduates of Durham University include: Jeremiah Dixon (1733-1779) the man responsible for the creation of the Mason-Dixon line that separated the Confederacy from the Union in United States History. Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) poet and wife of Robert Browning. Her masterpiece Aurora Leigh was published in nine books in 1857. By Roger Langley

What Do You Know about Durham's Twin Towns?
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT DURHAM'S TWIN TOWNS? Your Free July / August 2016 Durham Magazine
Do you know that Durham has no less than eleven twin towns or districts? In this article, we’ll take a quick look at each one and see what, if anything, they might have in common with our city.
www.durhammagazine.co.uk
Three of these towns, all in the United States, actually share our city’s name: Durham, North Carolina; Durham, Connecticut; and Durham, New Hampshire. Durham, North Carolina, like our town, is also the seat of a Durham County, but with an official population of 251,893 it is rather more sizeable than our city. It is, as well, a university city, boasting not one but two higher education institutions: Duke University and North Carolina Central University. But its humid subtropical climate and history as a tobacco-growing area distinguish it from our Durham. As for Durham, Connecticut, its population of under eight-thousand makes it seem rather village-like in comparison to our town. Its rural feel is enhanced by the fact that it’s the location of the annual Durham Fair, the largest volunteer agricultural fair in New England. Durham, New Hampshire is slightly larger, with over ten-thousand people. It is also a university town, hosting the University of New Hampshire.
Durham has two twins in Germany. Tubingen, in central Baden-Wurttemberg, is yet another university town and – apparently – a third of its population are students! There is plenty for these students to enjoy – visiting beer cellars along the picturesque Neckar River and going boating in Stocherkahne, vessels similar to Oxford and Cambridge punts. Durham’s second German twin is Kreis Wesel, a district rather than a town, in North Rhine-Westphalia. Located on the beautiful River Rhine, its coat of arms shows a white willow tree on a green background. Another twin town is Kostroma in Russia. Located where the Volga and Kostroma rivers meet, it is, like Durham, a historic city. And, like Durham, it boasts an impressive cathedral, the Epiphany Cathedral, built between 1559 and 1565. This five-domed structure was constructed under Ivan the Terrible, but Ivan’s piety did not stop him having the cathedral’s father superior executed! Durham City, Co.Durham Twin Towns Durham is also twinned with the Department of the Somme, France, the site of a
series of World War One battles. Interestingly, yet another battle took place there in 1346: the Battle of Crecy, which was a major victory for the English in the Hundred Years War. Banska Bystrica in Slovakia is also twinned with Durham. Like Durham, it is a beautiful historic city. Its stunning centre – comprising mansions, churches and fortifications – was built by rich merchants in the Middle Ages. Like Durham, its hinterland also has a mining history although around Banska Bystrica copper was mined rather than coal. Durham is twinned with the coastal town of Nakskov in Denmark and Alcala de Guardia in Spain, an industrial town near Seville. Jaszbereny in Hungary is also Durham’s twin. With traces of settlement dating back to six-thousand BC, Jaszbereny is more famous today for making Electrolux refrigerators. It seems that Durham has an interesting range of twin towns and districts scattered across the world. Who knows, if one day I happen to be passing through Russia, Slovakia or North Carolina, I might feel inspired to pop in and visit one. By David Sunderland
