Paul Younger, to whose memory this issue is dedicated, was an early advocate of a geothermal energy renaissance in the north England. This paper offers background experience gained with Eastgate BH1 and BH2B boreholes, focused on exploring potential Weardale Granite, followed by what has subsequently become known as Newcastle Science Central Deep Geothermal Borehole (NSCDGB), which found sequence (presumed) Fell Sandstones. These efforts represent not only legacy piece infrastructure UK, but also Younger. While NSCDGB been developed using conventional methods, it proved invaluable providing data modelling test-bed for northern England hoped that future years can serve testing facility deep research. Research carried out part recently concluded NetZero GeoRDIE confirmed could still be converted Heat Exchanger (DBHE), indicative total continuous heat yield >50 kW lifetime 25 if repurposed c.920 m depth.
