Team Valley Paper Mills, Mill Dam

The Mill Dam of the Team Valley Paper Mills (HER19074) is shown on the Ordnance Survey six inch map of 1862 (Durham Sheet VI), and in greater detail on the Ordnance Survey 1:500 Town Plan of 1896 (Sheet 129). It was located in the centre of the site and fed by the Mill Lead (HER19076). The site appears to have gone out of use in the 1960s and is now sports pitches.
