Obviously the performance of a solar thermal system will vary depending on the location of the home, the insulation of the property, and your own hot water requirements. Solar thermal panels are capable of providing all of your hot water requirements from April to September. They will still make a contribution to your hot water needs for the rest of the year, but in general you will need a backup system to further heat the water in the colder months.
Boldon Colliery
The Boldons are a group of 3 tiny towns in the north east of England - East Boldon, West Boldon and Boldon Colliery - north of Sunderland, eastern of Newcastle as well as south of South Shields and Jarrow. They have a population of 13,271. Lying within the historic borders of County Durham, the villages are first recorded in print in 1170. Their names evolved from the words "Bold" or "Botl", meaning a building, as well as "dun", implying a hillside. In 1866, job began sinking a pit that began creating coal in 1869, and also was then referred to as Boldon New Winning. The village that developed close by in the 1870s came to be known as Boldon Colliery. When the mine was deepened as well as expanded in the 1910s, additional housing to accommodate the workforce was built to the south of the pit in a location referred to as Boldon New Town. Up until 1974 the area was provided as a city district of County Durham, but since then has actually become part of the district of South Tyneside. In 1976, the Boldon Colliery Band appeared in episode 13 of the television series When the Boat Comes In. The mine closed in 1982 yet even more tasks became available when an Asda grocery store opened in 1987. Current developments include Boldon Business Park. Boldon Colliery also has its own multi-screen cinema run by Cineworld. The major secondary school in the area is Boldon School, a specialist sports college.
