Old houses on Bondgate, Darlington
These 2 shops were originally early C18 houses. They are at the west end of Bondgate, in the town centre. The pantile roofs are a bit of a giveaway; not what you would normally see in a town centre.

Pavement cafes on Bondgate, Darlington
Two outside seating areas for the Tapas Bar and the Old English Gentleman pub next door. These are becoming commoner in English towns these days. The summer of 2018 when this shot was taken was of course particularly suitable.
