Shildon

Shildon is a town in County Durham, in England. It is located approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) south eastern of Bishop Auckland, 11 miles (18 kilometres) north of Darlington, 13 miles (21 km) from Durham, 23 miles (37 kilometres) from Sunderland and also 23 miles (37 km) from Newcastle upon Tyne. Shildon belongs to the Diocesan Auckland parliamentary constituency. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a long-term population of around 9,976 people. Shildon's earliest inhabitants were groups of individuals who lived throughout the Mesolithic period some 6,000 years back. They lived by collecting wild plants and also hunting wild animals. There was a little ancient flint device found in the Brusselton location which may have been of this day. The Shildon area owes a lot of its development to the surge of the East Durham coalfields in the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and very early 19th century. The growth of coal mining throughout the Industrial Revolution implied the traditional method of relocating the coal along horse-drawn wagon methods was inadequate. Steam engines were introduced. Initially fixed engines pulled the wagons, but were changed by moving engines on railways. Shildon is considered to be the 'cradle of the trains'. The town expanded when the Stockton and Darlington Railway developed its workshops in 1825. Steam locomotives such as the Sans Pareil and also Royal George were constructed there. By 1855, it was a big complicated of workshops and other structures. After the 2nd Globe War, Shildon had among the largest exterior sidings facilities in Europe. The Shildon Functions eventually closed in 1984. The site now houses Shildon Locomotion Museum, which opened in September 2004 as well as is an extension of the National Railway Museum. For all of your home improvements, be sure to identify reliable specialists in Shildon to make sure of quality.

    FAQs

    How do I find out who owns a fence?

    Speaking to the owners of the neighbouring properties is recommended. If you are still unsure, you may need to check the original deeds to the property. Generally the rule is that you are responsible for the fence at the right hand side of your property.

    Fence ownership: who owns that garden fence?

    When it comes to fence ownership and responsibility, this is often a subject of dispute between neighbours and understandably so. Owning a fence comes with a number of responsibilities such as arranging and paying for the maintenance and more. Therefore, if you’re not yet sure who owns the garden fence, then you’d probably want to have that sorted to make sure your property stays protected at all times. In this post, we’re going to give you an insight into some of the rules guiding fence ownership in order to help you make informed decisions. Let’s take a look!

     

    There’s no rule of thumb on whether you own the fence on the right hand or the left hand side of your property. Therefore, if you’ve heard any “rules that states otherwise, you can fling that out the window because not everyone will own the left hand side to their fence. The first way to determine who owns the garden fence or which side of the fence you’re responsible for is simply by looking. Although this is not guaranteed or a definite way to determine ownership, it can go a long way to give you a good idea. As you would have expected, fences are most likely built on the land that belongs to the boundary’s owner with the further edge of the fence making the actual boundary. As a result, you can determine a fence ownership simply by identifying where the frames are.

    Also, you can determine fence ownership using the title deeds for an official and accurate answer. A copy should be given alongside your paperwork which is received when purchasing your house.

    How close can I build to my neighbour’s fence?

    As a home or property owner, you’re generally allowed to build next to your neighbour’s fence as long as it’s on your own side of the property. With that in mind, there are certain laws that regulate how close a fence can be built to buildings on the same lot or neighbouring lots. In addition, there are also local bylaws that provide limitations on the placements as well as height of fences so as to address safety hazards. In this post, we’re going to give you a good insight into how close you can build to your neighbour. Let’s take a look!

     

    In general, if the fence is in your boundary then you’re allowed to build a 2-metre high brick or wooden fence or wall. However, this may differ depending on your location in the UK. As a result, you may want to reach out to your municipality’s building department in order to determine what these rules and limitations are in your area. In the events whereby there are no such restrictions but you’re still concerned, you can try informing your neighbour what your concerns are. However, if they’re not receptive there are some steps you can take to ensure your plans go as smoothly as possible. These steps include the following:

    • Ensure to leave sufficient space for both the posts and footings
    • Stagger your fence posts in order to make sure you’re not digging your neighbour’s
    • Consider using concrete posts as they’re much stronger and will last a lot longer
    • Use kickers or plinths for raised gardens and flower beds
    • Make use of concrete plinths as they won’t rot over time like a wooden fence.
    Do I need to dispose of the old fencing myself?

    Most responsible contractors will dispose of the old fencing via an approved commercial waste site. Do check that the cost of taking rubbish away is included in the quotes you receive, otherwise you might find you get stung when it comes to paying for the work.
