Whickham Wanderer 2 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not repaired it I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

If you wish to email me please send your email via my profile (click on my name) and quote the cache name and number.

Many thanks,

Geocache Description:

Accessible even when the park is closed. This is a quik cache and grab. If you have time visit the park, which is a great asset to Whickham and lovely for children. Please be respectful to residents when parking.

Whickham council purchased Chase Park from Mr Wilkinson, a mineral water manufacturer, in 1937 for £7,000. The park was formally a private estate. The manison house was demolished in 1962.

There are no records of when the mill was built but parish records refer to a mill standing on the site of chase as early as 1567 and belonging to the Lord of the Manor, the Bishop of Durham.

Chase Park is designated as a King George V playing field. It is one of many sites throughout the country that were established as a memorial to the late King Goerge V.

The park is 5.28 hectares (13 Acres)
