Newton Aycliffe is a town in County Durham, England. Founded in 1947 under the New Towns Act of 1946, the town sits about five miles to the north of Darlington and ten miles to the south of the city of Durham. It is the oldest new town in the north of England, and together with the bordering Aycliffe Village (to the south) and the north part of School Aycliffe (to the west), forms the civil parish of Great Aycliffe.
At the 2001 census, Great Aycliffe had a population of 26,385, although in 2007 Great Aycliffe Town Council reported this had risen to 29,000. It is the largest town within the Sedgefield constituency. Within a radius of 10 miles (16 km) are several towns and villages including Darlington, Bishop Auckland, Shildon and Heighington. To the south of the town is the village of Aycliffe. Newton comes from 'New Town'. Aycliffe Village is near to the A1(M) junction with the A167 (former A1).
On the edge of the town is the Bishop Auckland to Darlington railway branch line which is part of the 1825 Stockton and Darlington Railway. George Stephenson's steam locomotive Locomotion No 1 was placed on the rails close to Newton Aycliffe near to where Heighington station is. The Great North Road passed (A1) through the town until 1969.
The original Woodham was a medieval village, although apart from a few low mound earthworks (on private land) there is no trace of this original village. It was located on the northern side of the Woodham Burn stream and to the East of the A167 that cuts through the site in a north-south direction.
There are no streets in Newton Aycliffe (no places of residence with the suffix 'street'.). The main road which runs through the centre of the town is 'Central Avenue'. There are many Roads, Closes, Crescents and even a Parade. In the older parts of the town the streets are named after Bishops of Durham and Saints: Van Mildert (road); St. Aidan's (walk); Biscop (Crescent). Some are named after prominent local families such as Shafto (way), Eden (road), and Bowes (Road) for example. Some are even named after the movers and shakers of the New Town Movement such as Lord Lewis Silkin (Silkin Way) and Lord Beveridge (Beveridge Way).
The A167 (old A1) is the main road to the town, it runs to Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne (30 miles) in the north and Darlington (8 miles) and Northallerton in the south. The A1(M) is near to the town and runs to Edinburgh in the north and London to the south, it provides as an alternative route to Durham and Newcastle in the north. The A689 is also near the town and it runs to Bishop Auckland in the west and Hartlepool and Teesside in the east.
The Newton Aycliffe railway station, which is on the Tees Valley Line, has train services provided by Northern to Bishop Auckland and Saltburn. There are connections to East Coast services to Edinburgh and London at Darlington, connections to Grand Central services to Northallerton, York and London at Eaglescliffe, and connections to Northern Rail services to Hartlepool, Sunderland and Newcastle at Thornaby.

This is Part 1: A morning at Eaglescliffe Station on the southern edge of County Durham, filmed on Monday, 29th March 2021.
Part 2, featuring footage from the afternoon, can be viewed here:
Today heralds the Government's much-vaunted unlocking of the second full coronavirus lockdown. As of today the restrictions on non-essential travel have been eased, so I thought I'd take a day trip to windy Eaglescliffe.
It was an exceptionally windy day, which can be heard in places despite the microphone having a very good wind shield. I think the wind noise adds to the authenticity of the experience, because I could hear it whistling past my ears too!
Eaglescliffe station is managed by Northern Trains. On weekdays there is an hourly TransPennine Express service in each direction between Manchester Airport and Redcar Central. There is also an hourly Northern Trains service between Bishop Auckland and Saltburn. Grand Central also run a couple of services in each direction between Sunderland and London Kings Cross.
Eaglescliffe normally has a good selection of passing freight trains. The Port of Tyne, Tees Port and the heavy industries of Teesside are all served by this section of line. In this video the only freight to feature is DB Cargo's 60019 Port of Grimsby and Immingham hauling steel slabs from Scunthorpe to Lackenby (4:04). Henry the vacuum also makes a cameo appearance in this video, so see if you can spot him!

Grand Central direct London to Eaglescliffe
Yes! I knew it! London to Eaglescliffe, 10 minutes drive from my house, in only 2 hours 40. And they could have actually stopped at Stockton station only Stockton's a bit scary (the nursing staff in the old folk's home should hear your cries for help. But not the residents) Previously it took that long on National Express/GNER service just to get to Darlington. Stockton Borough has 4 train stations: Stockton, Thornaby, Billingham and Eaglescliffe. But the Stockton South Constituency has 5, Yarm Station being the fifth. Just for fun, remind someone who lives in Yarm they're in the Stockton South constituency and watch them explode. I only know this because we are right on the boundary, and were switched from South to North by the Wonks in Whitehall.

Morning Walk - Darlington, County Durham [4K]
A short morning stroll around the wonderful market town of Darlington , County Durham.
This video was filmed on Sunday 24th April, 2022.
The camera used for filming is a Sony FDR-X3000.
Darlington is a large market town in County Durham, England. In 2011, the town had a population of 92,363 and the larger Borough of Darlington‘s population was recorded as 105,564.
In the 19th century, Darlington underwent substantial industrial development, spurred by the establishment there of the world's first permanent steam-locomotive-powered passenger railway: the Stockton and Darlington Railway. Much of the vision (and financing) behind the railway's creation was provided by local Quaker families in the Georgian and Victorian eras.
As the 19th century progressed, Quaker families in the Darlington area became prominent employers and philanthropists. Darlington's most famous landmark, the clock tower, was given to the town by the industrialist Joseph Pease in 1864. The clock's face was crafted by T. Cooke & Sons of York, and the tower bells were cast by John Warner & Sons of nearby Norton-on-Tees. These bells were the sister bells to those inside the Elizabeth Tower at the Houses of Parliament in London, the most famous of which is Big Ben.
Darlington is located in the south of County Durham close to the River Tees, which acts as the border between Durham and Yorkshire. Both the River Tees and River Skerne pass through the town, the River Skerne later joining the River Tees which then flows east and into the North Sea. Neighbouring towns include Bishop Auckland, Eaglescliffe, Newton Aycliffe, Richmond, Stockton and Yarm.

Join me as I take a relaxing trip with Grand Central,one of the few open-access train operators in Britain. I travel between London and Sunderland on a classic Intercity 125, a design I rate so highly I place it on a par with Concorde. The Intercity 125 saved British Rail from complete obsolescence in the late 1970s, with its super-pragmatic and simple design, rounded off with distinctively British cab ends. These trains are still workhorses in Britain over 40 years after their introduction, thanks to their simple engineering and excellent passenger comfort.
Enjoy the video!
Who are Grand Central? (credit to Wiki...) Grand Central is an independent open-access operator of train services in the United Kingdom. It has operated passenger rail services on the East Coast Main Line from Sunderland to London King's Cross since December 2007; and from Bradford Interchange to London King's Cross since May 2010.[2] It is a subsidiary of Arriva UK Trains.
Grand Central connects Yorkshire and the North East to London with two routes.
Five daily services on the North East to London route run between Sunderland and London King's Cross calling at Hartlepool, Eaglescliffe, Northallerton, Thirsk and York. This route is known as the North Eastern service. Grand Central has in the past given names to two trains on this route. Contrary to tradition in British named train services, these were individual one-way trips rather than not pairs. In the 2008 timetable, the name The Zephyr was given to the early morning (06:41) departure from Sunderland, while the evening (16:50) train from London was called The 21st Century Limited. As of the 2012 timetable, these names are no longer used by the company.
Four daily services which run on the Yorkshire to London route operate between Bradford Interchange and London King's Cross calling at Halifax, Brighouse, Mirfield, Wakefield Kirkgate, and Doncaster. Some services also call at Pontefract Monkhill. This is known as the West Riding (or West Yorkshire) service.

MIDDLESBROUGH TRANSPORTER BRIDGE, OCTOBER 2022. #teesside #middlesbrough #bridge
The Tees Transporter Bridge, also referred to as the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge, is a bridge in northern England. It is the furthest downstream bridge across the River Tees and the longest remaining transporter in the world. The bridge is grade II* listed and its winch house and piers are grade II listed.
As of 2022 the bridge is not operational. When working, it carries a travelling 'car', or 'gondola', suspended below the fixed structure, across the river in 90 seconds. The gondola can carry 200 people, 9 cars, or 6 cars and one minibus. The bridge connects Middlesbrough, on the south bank, to Stockton on Tees, on the north bank and carries the A178 road from Middlesbrough to Hartlepool.
History
The idea of a transporter bridge across the River Tees was first mooted in 1872 when Charles Smith, Manager of the Hartlepool Iron Works, submitted a scheme to Middlesbrough Corporation. However, the scheme was not pursued, and it would not be until the new century that the idea of a transporter bridge across the river would again be revisited. Following a 1907 Act of Parliament the Bridge was built at a cost of £68,026 6s 8d (equivalent to £7,660,000 in 2021 values), by Sir William Arrol & Co. of Glasgow between 1910 and 1911 to replace the 'Hugh Bell' and 'Erimus' steam ferry services. A transporter bridge was chosen because Parliament ruled that the new scheme of crossing the river had to avoid affecting the river navigation.
The gondola c.1911
The gondola c.2008
Construction work started in July 1909 with caissons being used to allow workers to dig down to bedrock. This turned out to be 65 feet (20 m) below the high tide mark on the Middlesbrough side and 90 feet (27 m) on the other.[6] The shafts that had been dug out by this process were then filled with concrete. The formal laying of the foundation stones, made of Aberdeen granite, took place in August 1910 when they were laid by Mayor of Middlesbrough Thomas Gibson-Poole and Alderman Joseph McLauchlan, the initiator of the transporter bridge scheme. The opening ceremony on 17 October 1911 was performed by Prince Arthur of Connaught. At its opening the bridge was painted red.
During the First World War Middlesbrough was bombed by an L11 Zeppelin in April 1916. During this raid it was reported that a bomb fell through the structure before hitting the river below.[10] During the Second World War the superstructure of the bridge was hit by a bomb. In 1953, the gondola got stuck half-way. While it was stuck, gale force winds lashed water to within inches of it; despite this the bridge continued to operate.
In 1961 the bridge was painted blue.
In 1974, the comedy actor Terry Scott, travelling between his hotel in Middlesbrough and a performance at the Billingham Forum, mistook the bridge for a regular toll crossing and drove his Jaguar off the end of the roadway, landing in the safety netting beneath.
In December 1993, the bridge was awarded the Institution of Mechanical Engineers' highest honour, The Heritage Plaque, for engineering excellence, in recognition of the Council's efforts in keeping the bridge in good working order. Its historical importance was also recognised in 1985 by its listing as a Grade II* Listed Building and its prominence as a local landmark was further enhanced in 1993 by the installation of floodlights that operate during the winter months.
In July 2000 a visitor centre was opened on land previously occupied by the bridge workshop
In 2011 the Tees Transporter Bridge received a £2.6 million Heritage Lottery Fund award for improvement and renovation work to mark the Bridge's centenary. The improvement works include the installation of a glass viewing lift to the landmark's upper walkway and renovation of the gondola.
The bridge was closed on 27 August 2013 for 40 days repainting. It was then discovered that repairs were needed. In the same year, the Tees Transporter Bridge Anniversary Award was inaugurated as part of the Transporter Bridge's Heritage Lottery Fund-supported Visitor Experience Project in partnership with the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT) and Teesside University. The inaugural award winner was Stephen Brown in autumn 2013, with Jason Dunnett receiving the accolade in autumn 2014.
Transporter Bridge – April 2018
On 5 March 2015, the Royal Mail issued a set of 10 First Class postage stamps featuring iconic British bridges including the Tees Transporter Bridge. The bridge was re-opened for traffic on 6 April 2015, but improvement work continued with the bridge still in daily use. These were completed in September 2015 after more than £4 million had been spent on the structure.
In August 2019, the bridge was temporarily closed due to safety concerns.
It is thought that repairs could cost up to £7 million and as of 2022 it remains closed with its future under discussion.

A Frantic 10 Minutes at Hellifield
Video created by Northumberland Snapper:
Please remember to subscribe if you like our videos.
Filmed on 19th August 2021.
Looking at Real Time Trains I noticed an intense burst of activity at Hellifield today.
To begin with train 0Z67, the 1020 Kirkby Thore Signal Box to Knottingley T.M.D., had just arrived in the goods loop. This was a short notice light engine move by DB Cargo's 66118, possibly for route learning.
A few minutes later train 6E97, the 1044 New Biggin British Gypsum to Tees Dock Bsc Export Berth, passed through as it does about the same time every weekday. In charge today was DB Cargo's 66096, which was still sporting a well-weathered EWS maroon and mustard livery.
I picked up my camera and moved swiftly to the top of platform 2 in anticipation of the Hunslet stone empties - 6M31, the 0954 Hunslet Tilcon Gbrf to Arcow Quarry Gbrf - passing through. In charge today was GB Railfreight's locomotive 66782.
After all that activity I needed a refreshing brew and fireman's breakfast from Shed 24H.

The Hunt for the Old Hall (Langley Hall) Burnhope, Durham ????????
New Years Day, lets go searching for a Grade 1 listed building in the County Durham Countryside.
I only knew it as The Old Hall, but I think it's originally Langley Hall
It's a grade 2 listed building (6/2/52).
Remains of Langley Hall. Early 16th century for Henry Lord Scrope, the Manor having been in his family before that.
I cant find anything else about the site or how long its been abandoned.
