A PLANNED presentation on the historic roots of a Teesside estate has been postponed.

The talk on Cowpen Bewley, in Billingham, was scheduled for Sunday, at 2pm, but Robin Daniels, from Tees Archaeology, will not be able to lead the event, as hoped.

Due to the specialist nature of examining historic buildings, the presentation will be rescheduled when Mr Daniels is able to participate.

Gina Balzi, countryside recreation officer for Stockton Borough Council, said: "We apologise for any disappointment caused, but we want visitors to learn as much about the town as possible and benefit from Robin's expertise. Unfortunately, this does mean having to postpone the event.

"The activity centre at Cowpen Bewley Woodland Park will be open as usual for anyone who still fancies a Sunday stroll around the park."
