I didn't think I would ever get a cache in Australia!
Many congratulations to Team Canary on their FTF(is that a Norwich City Football Club badge?)
Richmond, North Yorkshire is the original of all the others (founded 1071AD), and is one of my favourite places - if any cachers from around the world are ever able to come over here, please make contact.
Thanks to GazMag for all the hard work put into setting up this cache.

We don't have 'States' in the UK, the country is divided up into 'Counties'.
This is the border between Yorkshire, the largest County in England, and Durham, whose Bishops were formerly great landowners and lawmakers, almost as powerful as the King.
For many hundreds of years, the boundary ran along the River Tees, where there is an ancient stone bridge, but in 1974 it was moved about 1 mile south,and now runs through the middle of a field!
There is a small marker stone hidden in the grass, but it has now been replaced by large name boards.

This pyramid is in the churchyard at Bolton-on Swale, North Yorkshire, England.
It is the grave of Henry Jenkins, who died in 1670, at the age of 169 years.

This is in the middle of a hawthorn bush just a few yards away from the busy A66 Darlington Bypass in North-East England.
This sign is on the side of a building in Tubwell Row, Darlington, England, and extols the delights of CROMBIES RESTAURANT AND GUEST HOUSE.
This building is at Stonebridge, Darlington, England. It was formerly a Pawnbroker and Jewellers, but is now empty.
The awkward shape is due to a narrow lane behind it that used to run down to a ford across the river. The ford has long since gone, but the lane is still there.

This is on top of new bulding in Darlington, England. The workmen have rigged up a temporary weather vane, which consists of a saw and an axe.
The Roman Road from York to Hadrian's Wall crossed the River Tees at the Roman town of Piercebridge. Over the past 2000 years, the river has changed its course, and the original bridge was eventually abandoned, and forgotten about. The remains were excavated several years ago.

PREBENDS BRIDGE crosses the River Wear in the City of Durham, England.
It was built in 1772 by George Nicholson to replace an earlier bridge that was washed away in the great flood of 1771.
There are superb views of Durham Cathedral from the bridge.
