Durham 031222 4837

  • Description

    Durham, 3 December 2022. The first fortress here was around 1072 but little remains from before 1340. Construction of the cathedral started in 1093 and most was completed within forty years, although there have been later additions and alterations. The castle was really a bishop's palace with some fortification, but despite this it was the only northern castle never to fall to the Scots; it is now part of Durham University. This view was taken from Framwellgate Bridge.
