Saturday 09/01/2010. My wife Joy wanted to see the ice on the River Tees so we took the bus into Stockton-on-Tees and had a walk around, making our way from the High Street across the Millenium footbridge over the frozen river to the Uninversity of Durham campus and on to the new Infinity footbridge. The pictures shows Joy on the Millenium footbridge with the Tees Princess cruise boat and the replica of Captain James Cook's boat the HMS Bark Endeavour behind it. Captain Cook would have been familiar with the docks and warehouses that would have been here in his day but I doubt very much if he would have seen the river frozen like this, but maybe the weather was colder then, even so this is a very rare sight for modern man on the Tees.
