County Durham has a rich history and much has changed over the past 150 years. Araf Chohan brings to light some of the memories of the region through unique and rare photographs. See the towns and villages of County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Crook, Stanley, Barnard Castle, Chester le Street, as well as the collieries, industries, people and landscape. In one rare image, the interior of a pub in Howden Colliery is shown in the late 1800s with staff and punters posing. Another shows an early motor car with its driver paying the toll to cross Abbey Bridge in Barnard Castle. The book also covers the magnificent city of Durham, too. Long a centre of religion, learning and commerce, this wonderful place retains a lot of its historic core. Yet, as these images prove, has also changed so much.
