Bowburn Hall Hotel
This was built in about 1920 for Bell Brothers, a company which owned ironworks and the local collieries. It was then called Bowburn Grange and was the home of the colliery agent. After the pits closed in the 1960's, it was sold and converted into a hotel.

View along Tail Upon End Road
This wonderfully named lane runs along the northern edge of Bowburn village, south of Durham. Although flanked by a modern housing estate, it is of much older origin and is shown on the first O D map from the 1860's.

Church of Christ the King, Bowburn
Built in 1976, this striking futuristic church stood in the former mining village of Bowburn. Unfortunately, it suffered serious design faults and was closed in September 2004. At the time of photography the building was in a sorry state with the roof in a poor state of repair, and the whole premises fortified like Fort Knox against vandals. The building was demolished in May 2007, just leaving the cross standing.

Bowburn church
An interesting and very striking building but a flawed design and it was sadly demolished after standing empty for several years.
