Newton Aycliffe is a town in County Durham, England. Founded in 1947 under the New Towns Act of 1946, the town sits about five miles to the north of Darlington and ten miles to the south of the city of Durham. It is the oldest new town in the north of England, and together with the bordering Aycliffe Village (to the south) and the north part of School Aycliffe (to the west), forms the civil parish of Great Aycliffe.
At the 2001 census, Great Aycliffe had a population of 26,385, although in 2007 Great Aycliffe Town Council reported this had risen to 29,000. It is the largest town within the Sedgefield constituency. Within a radius of 10 miles (16 km) are several towns and villages including Darlington, Bishop Auckland, Shildon and Heighington. To the south of the town is the village of Aycliffe. Newton comes from 'New Town'. Aycliffe Village is near to the A1(M) junction with the A167 (former A1).
On the edge of the town is the Bishop Auckland to Darlington railway branch line which is part of the 1825 Stockton and Darlington Railway. George Stephenson's steam locomotive Locomotion No 1 was placed on the rails close to Newton Aycliffe near to where Heighington station is. The Great North Road passed (A1) through the town until 1969.
The original Woodham was a medieval village, although apart from a few low mound earthworks (on private land) there is no trace of this original village. It was located on the northern side of the Woodham Burn stream and to the East of the A167 that cuts through the site in a north-south direction.
There are no streets in Newton Aycliffe (no places of residence with the suffix 'street'.). The main road which runs through the centre of the town is 'Central Avenue'. There are many Roads, Closes, Crescents and even a Parade. In the older parts of the town the streets are named after Bishops of Durham and Saints: Van Mildert (road); St. Aidan's (walk); Biscop (Crescent). Some are named after prominent local families such as Shafto (way), Eden (road), and Bowes (Road) for example. Some are even named after the movers and shakers of the New Town Movement such as Lord Lewis Silkin (Silkin Way) and Lord Beveridge (Beveridge Way).
The A167 (old A1) is the main road to the town, it runs to Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne (30 miles) in the north and Darlington (8 miles) and Northallerton in the south. The A1(M) is near to the town and runs to Edinburgh in the north and London to the south, it provides as an alternative route to Durham and Newcastle in the north. The A689 is also near the town and it runs to Bishop Auckland in the west and Hartlepool and Teesside in the east.
The Newton Aycliffe railway station, which is on the Tees Valley Line, has train services provided by Northern to Bishop Auckland and Saltburn. There are connections to East Coast services to Edinburgh and London at Darlington, connections to Grand Central services to Northallerton, York and London at Eaglescliffe, and connections to Northern Rail services to Hartlepool, Sunderland and Newcastle at Thornaby.

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
ALONG THE RIVER TYNE PART 5, Tyne Pedestrian Tunnel to Hebburn Sea Cadets. (SOUTH TYNE) #rivertyne
Tyne Cyclist and Pedestrian Tunnel.
Tyne Cyclist and Pedestrian Tunnel was Britain's first purpose-built cycling tunnel. It runs under the River Tyne between Howdon and Jarrow, and was opened in 1951, heralded as a contribution to the Festival of Britain. The original cost was £833,000 and the tunnel was used by 20,000 people a day. It consists of two tunnels running in parallel, one for pedestrian use with a 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in) diameter, and a larger 3.7 m (12 ft 2 in) diameter tunnel for pedal cyclists. Both tunnels are 270 m (884 ft) in length, and lie 12 m (40 ft) below the river bed, at their deepest point. The tunnels are over 60 years old and are Grade II listed buildings.
At each end, the tunnels are connected to surface buildings by two escalators and a lift. The Waygood-Otis escalators have 306 wooden steps each, and are the original models from 1951. At the time of construction, they were the highest single-rise escalators in the UK, with a vertical rise of 85 feet (26 m) and a length of 197 feet (60 m). In 1992, escalators with a higher vertical rise of 90 feet (27.4 m) and 200 feet (61 m) in length were constructed at Angel station on the London Underground. The Tyne Tunnel escalators remain the longest wooden escalators in the world.
Northumbria Police - Marine Unit & Diving School.
Fighting international drug lords to recovering a tiny sim card from the murky waters of the River Tyne, police across the North East have revealed how they work together to protect the region’s waterways.
Last week Northumbria Police hosted Cleveland Police and Durham Constabulary at their International Diving and Marine School at Viking Park in Jarrow.
The Force’s Marine and Specialist Search Team are specially trained in diving and search techniques and cover 120 miles from Berwick all the way down to Ryhope.
However, they regularly offer mutual aid and support to other forces across the country and agencies including the coastguard, border force and the fisheries.
On Friday, the specialist team demonstrated their search techniques in a purpose-built seven metre diving tank - the only one of its kind in the entire country.
That included a training scenario that thrust a diver into action after a car had plummeted into water with a person trapped inside.
They also demonstrated how our search and rescue dogs work to recover bodies, sonar search capabilities, gathering intelligence and forensic evidence searches.
Northumbria Police Marine Constable, Tony Bennett, said: “Today was all about demonstrating the vast capability of Northumbria Police and coming together with our neighbouring forces to develop and learn how we can best work in partnership to serve our region.
“Nine out of ten times we are working blind in very murky waters and often looking for small but crucial objects such as mobile phones, sim cards, weapons and even bags of drugs.
“We use a range of tactics including underwater search patters and specialist equipment and training which we regularly update to keep our skillset and methods relevant and refined.

Get Carter Locations : Blyth staithes
twitter : @ceepackaging
My analysis of the 1971 British cult crime thriller Get Carter. Here we can see the staithes at Blyth - or rather what is left of them. In some of the scenes (which you can see in my film on the staithes) the Blyth river is clearly discernible.
Get Carter is a 1971 British crime film directed by Mike Hodges and starring Michael Caine as Jack Carter, a gangster who sets out to avenge the death of his brother in a series of unrelenting and brutal killings played out against the grim background of derelict urban housing in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. The film was based on Ted Lewis' 1969 novel Jack's Return Home, itself inspired by the real life one-armed bandit murder in the north east of England.
The film was Hodges' first as a director; he also wrote the script. The production went from novel to finished film in eight months, with location shooting in Newcastle and Gateshead lasting 40 days. It was produced by Michael Klinger and released by MGM. Get Carter was also Alun Armstrong's screen debut.
In 1999, Get Carter was ranked 16th on the BFI Top 100 British films of the 20th century; five years later, a survey of British film critics in Total Film magazine chose it as the greatest British film of all time. Get Carter was remade in 2000 under the same title, with Sylvester Stallone starring as Jack Carter, while Caine appears in a supporting role. This remake was not well received by critics.
Initial critical reception was poor, especially in the United Kingdom: soulless and nastily erotic...virtuoso viciousness, sado-masochistic fantasy, and one would rather wash one's mouth out with soap than recommend it. The American film critic Pauline Kael, however, was a fan of the film, admiring its calculated soullessness. A minor hit at the time, the film has become progressively rehabilitated via subsequent showings on television; with its harsh realism, quotable dialogue and incidental detail, it is now considered among the best British gangster films ever made. In 2004, the magazine Total Film claimed it to be the greatest British movie in any genre.
There are two slightly different versions of this film. In the opening scene of the original version Gerald Fletcher warns Carter that the Newcastle gangs won't take kindly to someone from The Smoke poking his bugle in. This was later redubbed for American release in a less pronounced Cockney accent (not by Terence Rigby) with won't take kindly to someone from London poking his nose in, as tape previews in the US had revealed that many Americans did not understand what The Smoke and bugle meant in this context. Smoke is slang for London, in reference to its reputation as a foggy city, while bugle is slang for nose. The line I smell trouble, boy is also edited out.

The Tyne at Wallsend
SEE MY TRAVEL GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
Here we can see the Tyne at Wallsend - formerly an area of a great deal of industrial activity but which unfortunately is no more. This shows the sites of the former Swanhunter yards as well as the former ferry terminal between Wallsend and Hebburn which featured in the 1971 film Get Carter. This is the place where a shoot out takes places between Carter played by Michael Caine and three local gangsters.

Get Carter film locations part 15 : ferry crossing
My analysis of the 1971 British cult crime thriller Get Carter. Carter takes the ferry across the Tyne back to Wallsend on the northern bank where he had left the car he had taken from Glenda.

My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!

ALONG THE RIVER TYNE, PART 2. Tynemouth Pier to North Shields Marina. #northshields #fishingboats
Tynemouth Pier.
Tynemouth is a coastal town in the metropolitan borough of North Tyneside, North East England. It is located on the north side of the mouth of the River Tyne, hence its name. It is 8 mi (13 km) east-northeast of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Historically part of Northumberland until 1974, the town was a county borough which included the nearby town of North Shields.
Tynemouth Priory & Castle.
Tynemouth Priory & Castle, is located on a rocky headland (known as Pen Bal Crag), overlooking Tynemouth Pier. The moated castle-towers, gatehouse and keep are combined with the ruins of the Benedictine priory where early kings of Northumbria were buried. The coat of arms of the town of Tynemouth still includes three crowns commemorating the tradition that the Priory had been the burial place for three kings.
Collingwood Monument.
The Collingwood Monument is a Grade II listed monument in Tynemouth, England, dedicated to Vice Admiral Lord Cuthbert Collingwood. A Napoleonic-era admiral noted for being second-in-command to Admiral Lord Nelson during the Battle of Trafalgar, Collingwood is sometimes referred to as the forgotten hero of Trafalgar. The monument's base is by John Dobson and the statue is a work of the sculptor John Graham Lough. It is situated just off of Front Street in Tynemouth and overlooks the mouth of the River Tyne.
Knotts Flats, Tynemouth.
The flats were opened in 1939, and are an example of the progressive 1930s architecture style that London County Council was using for flats at the time. They were designed by Tasker and Child in collaboration with Charles Holden, best known for designing many London Underground stations during the 1920s and 1930s, and replaced the Duke of Northumberland's 1758-built Percy Square. They were intended to be populated, in the main, by families from the area of North Shields with a seagoing connection. Tyne Boys Club, established in 1949, started as a boxing club in the basement of the flats. Sir James Knott was a shipbuilder and philanthropist, who spent most of his life in the area and the flats were intended as a memorial to him.
North Shields Fish Quay.
North Shields Fish Quay is a fishing port located close to the mouth of the River Tyne, in North Shields, Tyne and Wear, North East England, 8 miles (13 km) east of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne.
The quay began life in 1225 as a simple village of shielings (seasonal huts used by hunters or fishermen) around the Pow Burn (stream or river); the town of North Shields takes its name from the shielings. The quay was originally located here to serve the nearby Tynemouth Castle and Priory. The original site is largely derelict industrial land currently being redeveloped, which lately belonged to the original Tyne Brand canning company. The Pow Burn runs from nearby Northumberland Park and disappears underground at Tynemouth Road and the Metro urban transport line, eventually flowing into the Tyne.
North Shields Marina.
Built around the historic Albert Edward Dock, Royal Quays Marina is now regarded as the premier boating facility in the North of England. Situated close to the entrance of the River Tyne, the marina is ideally placed for access to the open sea and for cruising in the sheltered waters of the River Tyne. It is quick and easy to reach from all parts of the region and from further afield.
