THIS week, we once again delve into the packets of old pictures of Durham City which are stored in The Northern Echo's photo-archive. It appears to be a rather random selection, but they all come from the packet marked "R". Quite how they came to be in the packet, only the organised mind of a librarian can tell. If any of them trigger off any memories, or you have any information to add about any of them – were "Taddy ales" any good? – please email chris.lloyd@nne.co.uk
