Newton-under-Roseberry and the Long View to the Tees

The Colours of The Carrs
Ah, another stunning panorama from the summit of Cleveland’s iconic Roseberry Topping, captured countless times on phones and often graced by a selfie. It feels like I too have taken this shot so many times before.
Below, the quaint village of Newton-under-Roseberry nestles, its new builds seemingly encroaching on the flat farmlands of The Carrs. Once a realm of wo ... -
From Roseberry’s Shadow to Durham Gaol: The David Cobbold Saga
In those quaint days of the 1930s, there stood in the village of Newton-under-Roseberry, and in that quaint village, there existed a shop of equally quaint nomenclature – "Ye Olde Village Shoppe." Now, I am sure, there might well have been other shops in that village, but the tale I've uncovered revolves around none other than the proprie ...
