River walk plaque found on city litter pick
Volunteers from a Durham litter-picking group uncovered a plaque marking an 1883 riverside walk, hidden beneath ivy on a wall near Elvet Bridge. The walk, named after Reverend William Andrewes Fearon, a former Durham School headmaster, was a surprise even to the local parish council, and the group hopes to trace his relatives and encourage more people to join their litter picks.
