Looking along Skinnergate in Darlington
This is one of the main shopping streets in the town centre. It was part of the old medieval town, which is where the name comes from. It means the street of the tanners. Gate meaning a street in Norse and is common in northern English towns which were once part of the Viking settlements in the early middle ages. The present buildings are all C19 or later. View is looking north to the junction with Duke Street on the left.

The north end of Skinnergate, Darlington
The Tanners Hall, here on the right, is a modern Wetherspoon's pub, but commemorates the medieval origins of the street. The skinners were the tanners and gate is the Viking name for a street. View is looking north towards the junction with Bondgate.

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.
