Nice from the outside, expensive and noisy on the inside.

The Durham Miners Gala is a mass celebration of the coal mining and Trade Union heritage of the North-East. It is held annually, having taken place nearly every year since 1871. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durham_Miners'_Gala An important element of the occasion is the brass bands. This photo shows the famous Billingham Silver Band in full voice on Elvet Bridge. http://www.geocities.com/billinghamsilverband/

The Boathouse is a pub/night club on the bank of the River Wear between between Elvet Bridge and New Elvet Bridge. Behind it stands a shopping centre.

The River Wear follows a generally south - north line through central County Durham, but in Durham City forms a tight loop, so that in this view it is flowing south. On the right hand bank, just above Elvet Bridge (not to be confused with New Elvet Bridge), the winter sunshine catches the Boathouse, formerly the Chase Bar, a pub/nightclub which is no doubt popular with Durham's large student population.
