Home care in Bishop Auckland
Visiting care and home care in Bishop Auckland
Bishop Auckland earned is name due to historically being the town of residence for Bishops of Durham. The town grew in size rapidly during the 19th century as it experienced an industrial boom, especially in coal mining. Nowadays, it is home to a number of historic Grade I listed buildings, included Auckland Castle.
