Market Cross, Darlington
The Market Cross in Darlington is located by the junction of Horsemarket and West Row / Blackwellgate. The current cross dates from 1727, commissioned by Dame Dorothy Browne (whose surname is mispelt on the engraving!), replacing an earlier market cross.[1] The cross was taken down and put in storage in 1955. It was restored and unveiled at its current location on the 17th of May 1993.[2]
