National Coal Mining Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) Headstock and (R) winding engine at the National Coal Mining Museum<\/a>, outside Wakefield. The museum is built around the site of the former Caphouse colliery<\/a>. It was a drizzly day during the school holidays (late August), so we shouldn’t have been surprised that the colliery tours were fully booked!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) Former showers and (R) locker rooms. The changing rooms had distinct “dirty” and “clean” sides, linked by the shower, allowing the miners to keep their filthy work clothing in a separate locker from their normal clothes.<\/p>\n

Sherburn Hospital<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The charming Sherburn Hospital<\/a>, originally built in the 12th C as a leper hospital and now a residential and sheltered housing community for elderly residents of the Durham diocese. The site was open to visitors as part of the Heritage Open Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Durham’s Missing River<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pictures from a walk<\/a> in early September to the west of Durham, exploring the diversion of the River Browney<\/a> after the last Ice Age.<\/p>\n

\"Pitfall\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A literal “pitfall” created by mining subsidence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ruins of Beaurepaire Priory<\/a>, built in the 13th C as a retreat \/ retirement home for the monks of Durham. The name of the adjacent village of Bearpark<\/a> may well be a corruption of Beaurepaire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
