children have just<br />
started school in<br />
<strong>Darlington</strong> this<br />
<strong>September</strong>, a memory<br />
making moment for<br />
many families<br />
across our<br />
borough.<br />
Our oldest<br />
church is now<br />
an incredible<br />
894<br />
years old! St Andrews<br />
in Haughton was built<br />
around 1125, just<br />
58<br />
years before<br />
St Cuthbert’s<br />
in the town<br />
centre.<br />
R<br />
<strong>Darlington</strong> is<br />
453<br />
miles from<br />
Land’s End and only<br />
447<br />
miles from John o’ Groats<br />
making us almost exactly<br />
halfway from one tip of<br />
the UK to the other.<br />
No wonder people<br />
say we are perfectly<br />
placed!<br />
It is<br />
194<br />
years since the<br />
<strong>Darlington</strong> to Stockton<br />
railway opened, not<br />
long now until we will<br />
be celebrating<br />
the 200th<br />
anniversary!<br />
We’ve just<br />
played host to the<br />
32nd<br />
<strong>Darlington</strong><br />

About<br />
106,000<br />
people live in<br />
<strong>Darlington</strong>, that’s<br />
more than the<br />
capacity of<br />
Wembley<br />
stadium!<br />
At the last<br />
count there<br />
were more than<br />
40<br />
places to eat out<br />
in our town centre<br />
– a fantastic<br />
choice!<br />
