Outside Spanish Gallery

Future High Street Fund

The number of town centre cafés and restaurants in Bishop Auckland is less than half that in Barnard Castle, and less than a third of Durham City Centre, both popular visitor locations. This project aims to strengthen the visitor economy in Bishop Auckland by encouraging people to stay longer in the town centre and  increase expenditure with businesses.

Through the Future High Street Fund, new seating has been installed within the Market Place outside the Spanish Gallery.

 

There is also a drinking water fountain placed within the Market Place along the route of ‘Way of Life ‘ trail to provide refreshment to those travelling to the town on foot or by cycle  via the heritage walking and cycling routes.
