Numbers 1 and 2 The Street are a pair of houses built in the mid or late 18th century with later alterations. Constructed of rubble stone under an artificial stone roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1159738 Bowes is a village in County Durham, some 14 miles northwest of Richmond and about 18½ miles due west of Darlington. Set on the north bank of the River Greta, the village was, until by-passed, astride the A66 trunk road. The Romans had a fort here, guarding the Stainmore pass over the Pennines, and their site was reused by the Normans who built a castle. The village grew around the castle, and the name Bowes is first mentioned in a charter of 1148.
