A (Very) Short History of Bishop Auckland
Much of the history of Bishop Auckland centres around the local Bishops of Durham – hence the first part of the town’s name. In the 12th century, several bishops established a hunting lodge in the area.
Nevertheless, significant development didn’t take place until the Industrial Revolution due to a thriving coal industry. Now, of course, it is better known for an Afternoon Tea in Bishop Auckland.
