NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL DURHAM, by Michael Richardson. Published by Amberley Publishing (www.amberley-books.com). £14.99. Softback.

THIS pictorial history of Durham city revisits the 1960s, 70s and 80s – all decades of great change. A new through road involving the building of new bridges was finally started after years of discussions. Building projects included a new County Hall, Milburngate Shopping Centre, and Ove Arup’s concrete Dunelm House and Kingsgate Bridge.
