There is so much history to see in Durham, I couldn't fit it all in to one post, but you can read more about it here. The city is dominated by the wonderful buildings of the cathedral and the castle
a view of the magnificent Norman cathedral
the castle dominating the skyline
this Edwardian building is part of the University
Not all of the historic buildings are quite as magnificent. This concrete structure, which is the Students' Union, was probably built in the 60s
I loved this window above a shop ......
........compared to the reality of modern students' clothes in the shop
I took so many photos, I am having trouble deciding which ones to include, so I think it's time to have some fun ones
I have no idea why this little fellow was hanging about outside the bank!
this sign was beside a door in a very dark and scary passage in a cathedral building
this little robin was enjoying the sunshine on the river bank
To finish, a magnificent church window - look at the little faces carved on either side - I have yet to find out their significance
