About Bishop Auckland
Bishop Auckland is a market town and civil parish in County Durham. It is located at the confluence of the River Wear with its tributary the River Gaunless. Much of the town’s early history surrounds the Bishops of Durham and the establishment of a hunting lodge. During the Industrial Revolution, the town grew rapidly as coal mining took hold as an important industry. Today, the largest sector of employment in the town is manufacturing.
