The heritage timeline is a series of granite stones stretching over 42 meters on the Market Square from St. Nicholas Church to the equestrian statue of the Marquess of Londonderry. It shows a stylised river and tree flowing through the 1,000 years of time and history, 40 stones have bronze reliefs, others engravings, and most of them an explaining text. The dedication stone was unveiled on 1 July 2011 by 10 year old Stefan Szablewski, who had suggested a Time Line to be included in the designs for the Market Place in a letter to the Durham Times in December 2009 .
Most of the images that make up the timeline can be viewed on this link.
What an excellent idea !
