Welcome to our occasional Big Cat Diary with Tim Whittard The rich and varied biome of the UK and its wilderness is home to countless legends and mysteries, with an opulent tradition of folklore focusing on weird and unusual creatures. From the banshees and ogres of Welsh mythology, to Nessie and the Wulver of the Shetlands, from the Irish alligator and the leprechauns of the Emerald Isle, to the likes of Spring-Heeled Jack and the Woodwose, and yet amongst these tales and the rich stories of anomalous entities there is one such legend that is shared by all locales and utterly refuses to fade – the big cats of the British Isles.

Cllr Carl Marshall, Cabinet member for economic regeneration at Durham County Council, and Kenny Walker, of Chocolate Fayre, in Horsemarket, Barnard Castle AN historic market town will get free public wi-fi as part of plans to boost the resilience of County Durham communities. It is hoped the installation of wi-fi in Barnard Castle will increase footfall and encourage visitors to spend more time in the town centre once coronavirus restrictions are eased. Funded by Durham County Council and Teesdale Area Action Partnership, the project will also provide another way for businesses to connect with customers, with new local apps being developed to promote special offers and encourage people to explore the town.
Demolition has begun on the Kingfisher pub in Spennymoor, County Durham Pictures: SARAH CALDECOTT DEMOLITION of a town’s pub is underway in preparation of a multi-million-pound redevelopment project. For at least 20 years residents and retailers in Spennymoor, County Durham, have longed for dramatic changes to Festival Walk which - after years of neglect - became an outdated eyesore that was more than half empty. This week, the Kingfisher pub, which stands on Festival Walk, is the most recent building to take the fall, following work to also tear down the former Kwik Save supermarket.
