Is there much to do there? Any suggestions etc?

I’ve played cricket there once it seemed a fairly backward place.

The road out was nice.

Slightly better than Peterlee, is the best I can come up with.

Planet Leisure is pretty good. https://planet-leisure.co.uk/

And errr

Nope, that's it.

I like Peterlee, it makes you feel better about your own life.

No suggestions, they do have a leisure centre and you will probably not get bummed against your will, so that's a positive

This ^

Aycliffe has an Aldi and a Tescos. Dominos recently opened there. There is a Golf course and er 1 of the few pubs has a domino handicap on a Thursday. It may still have a library. As for culture Aycliffe has an Aldi and a Tescos......

Better off going to the Metropolis, which has Art galleries and other cultural stuff, a fine selection of pubs, restaurants and takeaways. A library, Hospital and Dad and me!

Peterlee's inbred sister. Went there once back in 1976 to a place called The Southern Social Club to see Mungo Jerry. Had to listen to a couple of Darlo fans on the bus from Peterlee (The 213) saying how shite Pools were.

Aycliffe used to have a Stock Car Track. Mr tREE if you like Trains the Train Museum in Shildon is good.

Local business Hitachi has a plant there

Tell me you haven't bought a timeshare there.

Funny enough I went to the Southern club to see a band in 1974/75? never been back!

I played rugby there once. They had nice balls.

You must have been a hooker.

like peterlee its a place to go to ONCE.

How does it compare to Barrow?

I forgot to mention the Magistrates Court is there. Catch the right day and there will be some humdingers of cases !!!!

It's fucking horrible. Populated by fat single mams in pyjamas at all times of the day, along with hordes of feral kids in Dunlop joggers.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

barrow has a soul of sorts unlike peterlee or newton aycliffe. luton still the tops for me for sending harrison or your worst enemy too.

Luton always was a desperate place, but 10 times worse these days. Mind you Workington will take some beating, and there must be some right humdinger towns in South Wales.

So the same as Hartlepool then?

Didn’t dare leave Redworth Hall in the end.

Looka tree starting a shit thread about Newton Aycliffe so he could tell everyone he was staying at Redworth Hall.

It was £70 a night so it’s hardly anything to write home about.

Meal was decent mind and the seminar I put on went down a treat with the clients.

The missus went to Redworth Hall for a Spa night thing on the lead up to our wedding with her mates and she said it was like Fawlty Towers. It was a nice place about 15 years ago the last time it was decorated.

Redworth Hall is at Redworth, nearer Shildon than Aycliffe. Shildon had that capsule the British Bloke who went to space on display. Better than that you could have come to the Metropolis for a night out with Dad (I would have come too).

Whenever I've been to Redworth Hall for Weddings,christenings etc, the Beer/Drinks have been (very) expensive and not even a good pint!!!!

Not even the real Redworth Hall tree.

Can anyone advise where on earth Wynyard Hall is?

Between Coundon and Chilton!!!!!

BTW it was Tim Peakes Capsule in Shildon.
