Team Valley Paper Mills

The Team Valley Paper Mills 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). Two large buildings with chimneys dominated the northwest and southwest sides of the site, enclosing a number of smaller buildings and a Mill Dam (HER19075). To the southeast was the Mill Lead (HER19076), looping around allotments and terraced housing. The site appears to have gone out of use in the 1960s and is now sports pitches.
Durham County Record Office holds some records comprising a letter book, purchase journal, cash book, wages book, sales journals, deeds, plans, etc dated 1895-1963 (Reference D/TVP NRA catalogue reference NRA 35658 Team). The northern part of the site can be seen on the bottom of aerial photos held by http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/.
