We decided to have a run into Durham today which is about a 20 minute drive from our town.

On the right is the Raddison hotel, we stayed there about 2 years ago for Debbies birthday

This is a reproduction and the original sanctuary knocker the real one is in storage. 

The story is anyone who ‘had committed a great offence,’ such as murder in self-defence or breaking out of prison, could rap the knocker, and would be given 37 days of sanctuary within which they could try to reconcile with their enemies or plan their escape

Nice little complex of bars and restaurants

We went to the Bishops Mill which is a Wetherspoons bar. The food was great the deco is nice, the bar doubles up as a nightclub at weekends.

I had a half a chicken with salad and a non alcoholic pair kopperburg which tasted exactly the same as a alcoholic one the total for my meal with the drink was £4.99, you cannot be robbed for that.

Debbie and Kate had rump steak, chips and salad with a coke each, the meal with the drink came to just under £9.80 each. We could not fault the food at all.

Well that was it, not much to see on this review but their is lots of shops and old buildings dotted around, its a great day out.
