Murals

12 County Architects’ Messr’s Clayton and Gelson, Mosaic Mural, 1963

Status: Unlisted
Condition: Good condition
Type: Mosaic
Owners: Durham County Council
Location: Durham County Hall, Durham

The County Hall was built in 1960-3 at Aykley Heads, a hill north of the city centre. The mural sits exquisitely in its post war setting, with the slightly more futuristic mosaic panels beneath the windows adding a satisfying contrast to the historical references in the mural.
