Pictures from a walk along Frankland Lane (north Durham) on a crisp November afternoon.
Route blocked!
Brasside Pond [54 48 2 N, 1 32 42 W] is an artificial lake created by excavation of clay for the adjacent brick works. The brick works and the branch line serving it are long closed. Apparently it is now a good place for carp fishing.
Frankland prison is a medium/high security facility which butts onto the Pond. Note that there is also accommodation for guests of Her Majesty within Durham city itself.
Grasses by the side of the lane on the return leg. Note silhouette of Durham cathedral in the background.
