    1. [ENG-DUR] Botcherby Bank, Houghton le Spring

    3. I have recently added a postcard of Botcherby Bank to my Houghton le Spring collection. Unfortunately it is not a view or name that I recognise. The postcard dates from about 1902 - 1906 and is a black and white print of a tram, destination Houghton le Spring, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. It is a local photographer and there is a signpost by the wayside but the print quality is not good enough to read. A similar postcard that I have of Gillas Lane spelt Gillies lane seems to have been done about the same time, so I wondered if the spelling had undergone some changes. It has to have been on the tram route and is possibly on the Sunderland Road? Anyone out there for whom Botcherby Bank rings a bell? Heather J
