About Fencing in Bishop Auckland

Bishop Auckland grew up around Auckland Castle, long a residence of the Bishops of Durham and now home to a significant art collection following major restoration. The town sits at the meeting point of the River Wear and River Gaunless, and its wider history is closely tied to coal mining, with pit villages once surrounding the town on all sides.

Types of Materials found in Bishop Auckland

Bishop Auckland sits within the Durham Coalfield, where Coal Measures sandstone, shale and coal seams lie beneath the town and the many former pit villages that once surrounded it. Above this bedrock, most residential ground is glacial boulder clay, common across County Durham, which holds water and can drain slowly after sustained rain. Ground closer to the River Wear or River Gaunless can include softer alluvial deposits typical of the river valleys that meet here.
