Sunday we are heading to Durham a town in North Eastern England and it's wonderful Cathedral.
The streets of old Durham town, oldy worldly, twisty turny.
The new Alms House built in 1666 to replace the old one built in 1414.
The Cathedral Close now part of the most of the buildings belong to the university.
Tha famous rose window of the Cathedral. The Building of the Cathedral began in 1080 and was completed around 1133. The rose window was added in the mid 19th. century. No photo's of the inside I'm afraid, camera's not allowed.
The only view of the castle we got to see, by this time the wind was so strong the castle was closed to the public - health and safety - the 21st. century problem of Britain.
Over the next couple of days we will,be exploring the industrial history of the North East.
