Image: © David Hawgood Taken: 23 Dec 2005
These houses are at the beginning of the promontory of land which ends with the rock on which Durham Cathedral is built within a loop of the river Wear. Beyond the houses, and across the river, is a sewage works and further away Framwellgate Moor. The rough ground in the foreground was once alongside a railway, now replaced by the A690 road.
