The Three Tuns
The history of the Three Tuns hotel can be traced back to the 16th Century but of what we know for sure was that the building was built as three houses in the late 18th century and does include the remains of an earlier building. As time has gone by The Three Tuns has gained a wealth of history embedded within its walls and has been known as a pub, a hotel and later was owned by Durham University for housing mostly post graduate students.
Metropolis House
31-33 Church Street in Durham is a Grade II listed building, recognized for its architectural and historical significance. Constructed in the mid-18th century, It stands three storeys high with six bays, showcasing a symmetrical design typical of the period. Boot scraper recesses are present beside the doors, adding to the building's historical character. The building's location on Church Street places it within a historically rich area of Durham. Church Street is part of the Church Street Conservation Area, which plays a crucial role in defining the town's character, culture, and heritage. The area is known for its well-preserved architecture, contributing to Durham's distinctive urban landscape.
The Printworks
The Printworks, located on Claypath in Durham, was originally an industrial facility. Ward Group Investments acquired the vacant factory in the heart of Durham City and transformed it into a mixed-use development. The conversion resulted in a 70+ bed student complex and four townhouses, blending modern living spaces with the building's industrial heritage. Claypath itself is a historic street in Durham, serving as the main easterly road out of the city towards Sunderland and the coast. The name "Claypath" is believed to derive from "Clayport," one of the exits from the city's outer defensive walls. The street ascends to the summit of the hill, where it changes to Gilesgate. The transformation of The Printworks into a student complex and townhouses reflects the broader trend in Durham of repurposing historic industrial buildings for modern residential use, preserving the city's architectural heritage while meeting contemporary housing needs.
