A bit of "Artistic Licence" was used in the lyrics of this song i.e. Durham is a city and lies on the banks of the river Wear, not the river Tyne!

I would pass through Durham twice a day while working on The Intercity 125 Trains as a steward in the restaurant and buffet car back in the eighties from Edinburgh to Kings Cross, London and all the way back at least 4 times a week.

Excellent. Watching from San Diego California USA How could anyone leave Durham town? The photos are amazing. The color of the leaves and the snow on branches. Thank you for sharing.

Brilliant slide show to go with the music. Durham is a beautiful place to visit and your photos have captured the historic beauty magnificently.

Anyone recall the Kwik Fit advert from the 1980s which featured this song and ended with tagline "Sorry Durham" because despite Kwik Fit centres being in towns and cities across the land there wasn't one in Durham? It put the city on the map to friends of mine who didn't hail from this lovely town

Roger's command of geography was greatly off with the River Tyne, which flows through Newcastle, 20 miles north. Durham is on the River Wear.
