Durham Allcomers Regatta
www.durhammagazine.co.uk
Rowing is a physical, exciting and social sport that helps you work effectively in a team. If you enjoyed watching Durham Regatta and have been inspired there is an opportunity to get together a team of friends or work colleagues to take part in the Durham City Allcomers Regatta which is organised annually by Durham Amateur Rowing Club. The 2017 Allcomers is set to take place on Sunday September 24th. This is a fun event that involves racing over a short 300 metre course on the River Wear in stable coxed fours, and is aimed at
those who have never rowed before who would like to try it. Refreshments will be available and fancy dress is optional. For some previous participants it has been the starting point of a successful career in the sport. Entries are invited from teams of 4 (one of whom can have previous experience). All equipment is provided and each crew will get 4 coached practice sessions in the weeks before the event with one of the club’s volunteer coaches before they take to the water on regatta day. Prizes will be presented to the winning male, female and mixed crews.
Further details and entry forms can be found on the Durham ARC website at durham-arc.org.uk/regatta/ allcomers-regatta/ The event is a major fundraiser for the Rowing Club and donation of prizes for auction is also welcome.

The closing date for entries is Wednesday September 13th.

A new footpath which will improve access to Durham train station for pedestrians and cyclists has been officially opened. Durham County Council has created a new shared use pedestrian and cycle path which runs alongside the A691 Framwellgate Peth, from County Hall to the station. New pedestrian access to the station has also been created via steps just North of the railway bridge on Framwellgate Peth. New street lights have also been introduced in the area in addition to the planting of new trees and woodland wildflowers.
Cllr Carl Marshall, the council’s Cabinet member for economic regeneration, said: “Durham train station is of vital importance as it opens up our city and county to people who want to come here to work, shop or enjoy a day at some of our magnificent visitor attractions. “This new path improves links between the station and ongoing and future developments in Durham, which can only help us to attract further investment and employers. “By encouraging people to cycle and walk, it also has the potential to reduce the amount of traffic on the city’s roads which will bring about reduced congestion, better air
quality and improvements in people’s health.” David Land, North East LEP board member, said: “A main objective of the North East LEP’s Local Sustainable Transport Fund Capital Programme is to improve cycling and walking links to and from key rail stations in the area. “This will enable them to become sustainable travel hubs, enhancing access to employment, training and educational opportunities. “We are delighted to see the eastern side of this cycle route scheme now complete, with the western side expected to be completed by the end of August 2017. “When finished this scheme will greatly improve accessibility in central Durham.” Work will now start on the widening of the footpath leading up to the station, on the Wharton Park side of Framwellgate Peth.
www.durhammagazine.co.uk
The existing pedestrian and cycle route along the station side of the A691 Framwellgate Peth has also been resurfaced. The work has been jointly funded by the council and the North East Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). Support has also come from walking and cycling charity Sustrans, Virgin Trains East Coast and the
North East Combined Authority. Council chairman Cllr Bill Kellett cut a ribbon to officially open the new path at a ceremony attended by representatives from the various groups.

Knitsley Viaduct and an Alarming Incident Your Free July / August 2017 Durham Magazine
Knitsley Viaduct, which spanned the valley between Knitsley and Lanchester, was built in 1862 as part of the North-East Railway. It was a picturesque construction built of wooden trestles. The structure itself was about 100 yards long by 100 feet high. On Monday 21 December 1874 a train left Durham at 7.55pm heading on its way as usual to Blackhill. It had made all its usual stops and was now heading toward the Viaduct. As it began to cross, the train started to oscillate violently, followed by a harsh grating sound heard and felt throughout.
The train came to an immediate halt right in the centre of the bridge. With great care one by one they began to exit the carriages. To their horror they could see that many of the carriages had been derailed. The first class carriage was hanging precariously over the edge. It was at this point, seeing the rails all torn up and a large portion of the palisade of the bridge missing, that everyone suddenly realised that the final carriage had fallen over the edge. The guard and a number of the men hurried down the bank. On approach they found the carriage smashed to splinters but thankfully it had been empty.
About an hour later the passengers were placed onto the truck, which had not been derailed, and were safely taken on to their respected destinations. An inspection later found that the axle of the last carriage had come away and made it jumped the rails about 100 yards prior to the bridge. By some miracle the couplings which attached it to the forward carriages had worked loose saving the rest of the carriages from being pulled down with it.
www.durhammagazine.co.uk
In about 1915 due to the need for major repairs, the decision was made to turn the once majestic structure into an embankment. So using old ballast and colliery slag they filled in and built up under the bridge. The embankment can still be seen today but few would even guess what lies beneath.
Noise App helps residents tackle noise disturbance
Durham County Council has become the first local authority in the North East to use mobile phone technology in this way, having launched the Noise App. Residents who make a noise complaint to the council are provided with a user name and password, enabling them to register to use the app. Only those with an existing complaint are given the log in details. Users can then make recordings of any noise disturbance they are experiencing and submit them instantly to the council. Officers from the authority’s nuisance action team can then use noise recordings alongside traditional diary evidence to allow them to make a more informed
assessment on whether a complaint constitutes a statutory noise nuisance. Evidence gathered via the Noise App has already contributed to the seizure of a sound bar, hi-fi system and several speakers. Joanne Waller, the council’s head of environment, health and consumer protection, said: “The introduction of the Noise App provides residents with an additional way to get us evidence of the disturbance they are experiencing and allows our officers to provide a fast and efficient resolution to problems. “The fact we have already been able to seize a sound bar, hi-fi system and speakers thanks to this app shows how valuable it will be in our efforts to protect our residents from excessive noise.” The Noise App can be downloaded onto an iPhone or Android device via App Store or Google Play.

Durham Shopping Extravaganza Families, farmers and the sick are to benefit from an annual shopping festival this autumn. The Durham Shopping Extravaganza committee has announced which charities are to be the main beneficiaries of the event in October. Now in its 29th year, the DSE has raised in excess of £425,000 for more than 90 charities in and around County Durham.
www.durhammagazine.co.uk
This year's two-day extravaganza - which takes place on October 4 and 5 at Ramside Hall Hotel, Durham - will support DFW Adoption, a private adoption agency in Durham; St Cuthbert's Hospice, in Durham; My Sister's Place, a domestic abuse charity based in Middlesbrough; and the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI). As well as the principal beneficiaries, other causes are expected to receive donations
following the event, which raises money through ticket sales, a raffle, tombola and ten percent of stallholders' takings over the two days. Plans are well underway for the event, with over 70 hand-picked stalls already confirmed and last year's sponsors - BHP Law, Sherwoods, Lycetts, Brewin Dolphin and Parklane Plowden Chambers returning to support the DSE once again. After successfully introducing evening opening in 2016, the opening times have been extended further this year from 12pm-8.30pm on October 4. Lunch is available in the marquee from 11.30am and there is a free glass of wine for every visitor after 5pm. The second day opening times are 10am-4pm. Co-chair of the DSE Nicky Swan said: "We are delighted with the way this year's event is coming together, thanks to
the work of our volunteers, and we're especially grateful for the continued support of our sponsors. The demand for stalls has been very high and includes some fabulous new names, as well as popular regulars that our shoppers look forward to seeing every year. "We have met with all of our chosen beneficiaries, all of whom do a fantastic job in their particular areas of expertise and are thoroughly deserving of our support. Now all we need are lots of visitors to come along and enjoy two days of fabulous shopping, knowing that everything the DSE raises goes to charity." The DSE is accepting high quality raffle prizes and has opportunities for advertising in the event brochure, with space available at £45-£150.

Partnership looks to create a Brighter Bishop Auckland
Your Free July / August 2017 Durham Magazine
A new partnership has been set up to lead the regeneration of Bishop Auckland town centre. Statutory, voluntary and community agencies have come together to form the partnership which will be known as Brighter Bishop Auckland. The partnership will seek to bring about and co-ordinate development in the heart of the town with a view to improving its economic performance, while at the same time maintaining the integrity of its heritage, and social and spiritual life. The new body is to be chaired by the Bishop of Durham The Rt Reverend Paul Butler and will feature representatives from Durham County Council, Auckland Castle Trust, Eleven Arches, South Durham Enterprise Agency, Bishop Auckland College, Bishop Auckland Town Council and Historic England.
www.durhammagazine.co.uk
The partnership will encourage greater collaborative working by co-ordinating the activities and resources of its member agencies. The first key task that the partnership has commenced is the production of a
masterplan for the town centre, which will look at the following areas: • Quality of the environment in the town centre; • What key spaces in the town are used for and how people engage with them; • How visitors will access, connect and orientate themselves in the town centre; • What local agencies need to do to make the town centre function better. The plan will identify possible improvements in the town centre as well as potential funding sources that will allow Bishop Auckland to benefit from an expected increase in visitor numbers over the next five to ten years. The Rt Rev Butler said: “I am thrilled to have been asked to chair this group. "The transformation in and around Bishop Auckland through the work of the Auckland Castle Trust, Eleven Arches Trust and the work of the town and county councils is amongst the most important happening in the UK currently. “The impact of this work for the town and the region, its people and economy cannot be overstated.
"Chairing this group is an honour and is directly relevant to the priorities of my own diocese on children and young people, tackling poverty and church growth in order to bless our communities in Jesus’ name for the transformation of us all. “Bishop Auckland town centre potentially has a very bright future. “Together we need to imagine a brighter town centre and work together to turn it into a reality. “I am privileged to be chairing the group that will seek to help us all work together for a brighter future." Cllr Carl Marshall, Durham County Council’s Cabinet member for economic development, said: “Bishop Auckland is a very important town within our county and we are committed to doing all we can with our partners to ensure the best possible future for its residents and businesses. “We look forward to working through the new partnership towards unlocking Bishop Auckland’s bright future.”

Your Free July / August 2017 Durham Magazine
Places to Go: York, North Yorkshire YORK, North Yorkshire York has more world class sights and attractions per square mile than any other city in the UK. You’re spoiled for choice. If you like going underground, for example, there’s York Minster crypt, the Roman bath house under a pub in St Sampson’s Square, the York Dungeons for a spooky experience, the cellars of the National Trust’s Treasurer’s House with its ghostly legends of Roman legions, and a cold war bunker in the care of English Heritage. Here the Royal Observer Corps would have plotted nuclear explosions and survived underground for up to 30 days after nuclear war began. The bunker is outside the city centre, 1 ¼ miles from the station, walkable along the Acomb Road or use local bus 1.
www.durhammagazine.co.uk
All of the other attractions are to the east of the station, except the free to enter National Railway Museum which is best reached by the footbridge and footpath from all platforms. Afterwards it offers a half-hourly dotto train (a train which is really a tractor pulling rubber-tyred carriages) to a stop on Duncombe Place close to the Minster. The Minster charges for admission, but if you wish to avoid this the best way is to attend a service. Evensong is sung
most afternoons by the choir and you get a much better experience taking part in the worship than paying to walk round. Of course, the plate goes round at the end, and you’ll probably wish to make a voluntary donation. The more energetic might try a free walk around the walls, which takes around two hours around the 45 towers, including Micklegate Bar where children will be entranced to hear the sad story of the little girl who lost the keys to the City. Wall walking is not wise in icy weather, but should be ok in August!. York offers plenty of opportunity for eating and drinking and staying over. Chocoholics will love the story of chocolate in King’s Square. I have used the Bar Convent at Bootham Bar, where the Catholic nuns are most hospitable, even to an Anglican. The chain hotels can be expensive: on a recent trip from London to Scarborough I tried to book a Premier Inn close to York station and the best price was £130, but I obtained the same standard of accommodation at a Premier Inn close to Doncaster station for only £31. For a relaxing trip on the River Ouse, try City Cruises York,
which have recently taken over the York Boat company for £2.5m, sailing from the Lendal Bridge near the station. Have a think about going to York on Bank Holiday Monday 28th August when the full Monday train service is operating, but the fares are at off peak rates all day. We can promise, for example, a day return trip to York from Chester-le-Street at £17.90 with railcard discounts too, for anyone going on the 0815 or 1013 trains direct to York on the bank holiday, returning any time on TransPennine trains. That compares with the published online fare day return of £37.80 you might buy on the internet, and good value fares are available from other stations too. Just ring us to book on 0191 387 1387 and we’ll post tickets out to you. Bear in mind that the Chester-le-Track team each spend nearly two thousand hours a year finding the best deals in booking tickets, so they are likely to do it quicker and more effectively than someone spending, say, four hours online a year doing the same thing. Take advantage of our experience. Alex Nelson Stationmaster www.visityork.org

Schoolchildren encourage dog owners to follow their lead Your Free July / August 2017 Durham Magazine
Members of a school council are helping teach dog owners to be more responsible. Youngsters from Woodland Primary School in Bishop Auckland joined forces with neighbourhood wardens from Durham County Council to place stickers on lampposts around their community advising of new dog control powers. On 1 June, the council introduced a countywide Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) for dog control. The new order means it is an offence in County Durham for dog owners to:
www.durhammagazine.co.uk
• Allow their dog to foul without picking it up • Allow a dog to stray • Allow a dog into a fenced off play area covered by the order • Fail to put their dog on a lead when asked to do so by an authorised officer The order can be enforced with a £100 Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) or prosecution if the FPN is not paid within the set timescale.
To educate and engage with dog owners, the council is rolling out a countywide responsible dog ownership campaign called #FollowOurLead, which aims to encourage people to take notice of the new rules. As part of the campaign, the council’s civic pride team is hosting assemblies in schools to teach children how to be responsible dog owners. Poster competitions will also give children the opportunity to have their designs adapted into signs to be installed at fenced off play areas where dogs are not allowed. Ian Hoult, Durham County Council’s neighbourhood protection manager, said: “The school wanted to spread the word that dog fouling and other dog control issues are not acceptable, so they got in touch with us to see what they could do to help. “As part of our #FollowOurLead campaign, and to implement the PSPO, we are placing stickers on dog waste bins to advise owners to pick up after their pet and we thought this was the
perfect opportunity to involve the children. “All dog owners are urged to do the right thing, to follow our, and indeed the children’s lead, by being responsible, picking up after their dog and putting waste in a bin. “Also, to not allow a dog to stray, to put a dog on a lead when asked and to refrain from taking dogs into fenced off play areas so children are protected from the dog and any dog mess.” As well as lending a hand with the stickers, children also took part in a question and answer session with Will Clifton, neighbourhood warden team leader at the council, to find out more about the new dog control rules. Cllr Brian Stephens, Cabinet member for neighbourhoods and local partnerships added: “It’s great to see young children care about their environment and help influence the positive behaviour of others. We hope they have enjoyed playing their part in this important campaign.”

A floral 3D bishop’s mitre, St Cuthbert’s Cross and colourful display of butterflies are set to brighten up Durham city this summer. Durham County Council, in partnership with Durham Area Action Partnership (AAP) and Durham Business Improvement District (BID,) has funded three 3D floral features as part of the city’s entry into the regional Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Northumbria in Bloom competition. The bishop’s mitre will greet thousands of visitors and residents to the city’s Market Place, while the St Cuthbert’s Cross display will be on show at Palace Green - just a short distance from Durham Cathedral, home to the Shrine of St Cuthbert.
The 3D floral butterfly beds are located at Leazes Bowl
The display has been designed to reflect a traditional Victorian planting scheme with sub-tropical plants and other foliage such as tender and hardy palms, banana, New Zealand flax, red dahlias and ornamental grasses surrounding the sculptures. The butterflies, which are intended to look as though they are flying about the plants, are joined by carved wooden bees and ladybirds. Oliver Sherratt, head of direct services at Durham County Council, said: “We are thrilled to welcome the 3D floral displays back to Durham City. The reaction and feedback last year was excellent so we’re really pleased to commission the displays again in partnership with Durham AAP and Durham BID. “The St Cuthbert’s Cross display reflects upon the city’s legacy and aptly symbolises the shrine of St Cuthbert, while the Bishop’s Mitre links back to our roots and history. The butterfly display on Leazes Bowl roundabout bring a touch of the exotic to
one of the major gateways to the city. “We are grateful to Durham University for allowing us to display the St Cuthbert’s Cross installation on their premises and we would like to thank them for their continued support for our In Bloom campaigns.” People can see the floral displays at Durham Market Place and Palace Green until mid-September. Durham City is taking part in the Small City category of Northumbria in Bloom, having won Gold and overall category winner in the ‘Champions of Champions’ category in 2016. The city also won Gold in the ‘Champions of Champion’s category of Britain in Bloom last year. Results of this year’s Northumbria in Bloom competition will be announced on 13 September. To find out more about the In Bloom campaigns visit www.durham.gov.uk/inbloom
www.durhammagazine.co.uk
The bishop’s mitre celebrates County Durham’s unique heritage dating back to 1075 when the Bishop of Durham became a Prince Bishop. In return for protecting England’s northern frontier, the Prince Bishops had power to raise armies, levy taxes and mint coins and were considered as ‘Kings of County Durham’.
