Startforth being on the west side of the River Tees was once in Yorkshire whereas Barnard Castle on the east side of the river was in County Durham. By the Local Government Act of 1972 Startforth was absorbed with other parts of Yorkshire into County Durham. The view is from the County Bridge over the Tees. The blue and yellow sign is a feature of place names in County Durham though not all are in that style.
