A southwestern building material was used in the mid-1800s at Stevensville s Fort Owen. John Owen bought the property from St. Mary s Missions and decided to establish a trading post. To build the barracks and the fort s outer walls, he wanted to use adobe bricks. And he used local clay as one of the main ingredients.
He was persistent in his building project and historians say thousands of the bricks were fashioned. In a Friends of Fort Owen report, Lorraine Roach notes that Owen s journals had plenty of mentions of the adobe work. Apparently, some days were too wet to let them dry after making the bricks, so it took a while.

A COUNCIL has dismissed elderly residents’ claims that they are being unfairly evicted from stables they lease for their beloved horses as the authority needs land to avert illegal travellers camps. Several leaseholders at Darlington Borough Council’s stables at Brankin Road, off Neasham Road, say eviction notices served by the authority could mean a death sentence for some of the eight horses at the site. One of the horse owners, Lorraine Roach, 71, said she had been bewildered by the council’s claim in the eviction notices that the site was now considered unsuitable to keep horses due to frequent flooding.
