Summary edit
| Description |
English: The Carrs, near Chilton Lane
Mid-southern County Durham is characterised by an extensive area of low-lying land, occupied at least in Roman times by lakes, now drained by the River Skerne and its tributaries. It is probable that the Romans used the lakes and interconnecting canals for water transport.http://www.davison03.freeserve.co.uk/the%20ancient%20lakes%20of%20county%20durham.htm . This view of the "Carrs" (a place-name meaning damp willow woodland) lies towards the northern end of this area, where two railways from the south converge to squeeze through a narrow gap in the flanking hills at Ferryhill. The photograph is taken from the foot of one of the railway embankments. |
