Editing Durham, England (section)

===Ice===
Durham Ice Rink was a central feature of the city for some 60 years until it closed in 1996. It was home to the [[Durham Wasps]], one of the most successful British [[ice hockey]] clubs that competed in the [[National Ice Hockey League]] during the 1980s and early 1990s. [[Durham City Wasps]] was another club that disbanded following the closure of Durham Ice Rink.

Durham Ice Rink's demolition began in May 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.durhamtimes.co.uk/news/10396246.End_of_an_era_as_Durham_Wasps__rink_demolition_begins/?ref=rss|title=End of an era as Durham Wasps' rink demolition begins|access-date=31 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304030302/http://www.durhamtimes.co.uk/news/10396246.End_of_an_era_as_Durham_Wasps__rink_demolition_begins/?ref=rss|archive-date=4 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> On the location of the former ice rink now stands Freemans Reach which houses the Durham Passport Office<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/find-regional-passport-office|title=Find a Passport Customer Service Centre – GOV.UK|website=www.gov.uk|access-date=9 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013082324/https://www.gov.uk/find-regional-passport-office|archive-date=13 October 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>
