CHILDREN have left a glimpse of life in County Durham in 2005 for future generations.

Pupils from St Mary's RC School, in Barnard Castle, buried a time capsule at a new riverside property development, Thorngate Court.

They included items such as a calculator, a video recording and a class photo as a reminder of present-day life.

The Thorngate Court development will see new town houses, cottages and apartments created.

Three residential properties are also being converted from a Grade II-listed mill next to the River Tees.

Charltons estate agents and Carlbury Developments are behind the £3m project.
