Key points of interest in Darlington, County Durham, England. A description of the town of Darlington first appeared in writing in the early 11th century, when it was called ‘Dearthingtun’. Its name was probably originally the Anglo-Saxon ‘Deornoth ing tun’, meaning ‘man belonging to hamlet’. In other words, it was the estate belonging to Deaornoth. By Norman times, the name had changed to Derlinton (Simpson, 2009), with it being changed to Darlington still later on (Lambert, [s.d.]). QUOTATION During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Darlington was generally known as `Darnton'. During a visit to the town in 1603 King James of Scotland penned a verse about the place, starting with the two lines: “Darnton has a bonny, bonny church / With a broach upon the steeple” (Simpson, 2009).

Key points of interest in Durham, England. Origins of name: The combination of the Old English ‘dun’, meaning ‘hill’, and the Old Norse ‘holme’, meaning ‘island’, resulted in the present name of the town (“Durham”, [s.d.]). The name is believed to have been assigned to the site on which the city stands by monks who had been divinely led to the area for the burial of Saint Cuthbert’s bier (“Dun Cow”, [s.d.]). Durham is a hilly city, which claims to be built upon the symbolic seven hills (“Durham”, [s.d.]). QUOTATION The Scottish historical novelist, playwright, and poet Sir Walter Scott was so inspired by the view of the cathedral in Durham that he wrote the romantic narrative poem "Harold the Dauntless", about the exploits of a knight errant to recover his lands, during which journey he also spritually converts from the Norse religion of his ancestors to Christianity. Among the lines from the poem carved into the local stone arch Prebends Bridge are: “Grey towers of Durham / Yet well I love thy mixed and massive piles / Half church of God, half castle 'gainst the Scot” (“Durham”, [s.d.]).

Points of interest in Chester-le-Street, County Durham,England. In Anglo-Saxon times, the name of the settlement that grew up around the Cuneceastra or Conceastre burn was combined with the English word for a Roman fort, which was shortened over time to Chester, the name used locally for the town to this day. However, ‘Chester’ is a common name for towns in England, and in the Middle Ages the second part of the town’s name, ‘Street’, for the Roman road that ran through it, was added. The first record of the name as ‘Chester upon Street’ is reported to be given in the Universal etymological English dictionary of 1749. At some point, the name was shortened to the modern form (“Chester-le-Street”, [s.d.]). QUOTATION Although born and raised in the vicinity of Glasgow, George “Jock” Purdon, as one of the Bevin Boys who were conscripted to work in the coal mines of the United Kingdom from December 1943 until 1948, started working in the coal pits in Chester-le-Street, marrying and remaining there after the Second World War ended in 1945. With firsthand experience of both the hardships and the cameraderie that develop in such communities, he became known as “the miners’ poet” due to the large number of poems and songs that he wrote revealing the spirit of those plucky souls who man the coal face (“Jock Purdon”, [s.d.]). Purdon also poignantly described many of the mining disasters of the time, including the following: “Black rosette on the ’Scotia banner, Dull black crepe over waving gold, Fifty dead is the ... reckoning” (GUEST.Andy, 2008).

Key points of interest in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, UK. In Norman times Robert Curthose, eldest son of William the Conqueror, built a castle at the site of the present-day Newcastle. Clearly, the castle was new, hence the name (Simpson, 2009). From Newcastle Rangers’ rather shaky beginnings in 1878, on the Drill Field in Gateshead, Newcastle United has obtained great popularity in the football sphere, leading to Sir Matt Busby stating, “If you put 11 black-and-white dogs on the field at Newcastle you’d get 30,000 coming to watch.” (cited in Bolam, 2004, n.p.). SOURCES Bolam, Mike (Ed.). 2004. The little book of Newcastle United: 150 black-and-white quotes. London: Carlton Books Ltd. Simpson, David. 2009. Newcastle upon Tyne.
