New display in Local Studies 
Memories of Local Mills
The history of mills in Darlington can be traced back as far as the 12th Century. Mills in Darlington, Blackwell and Haughton were recorded in the Boldon Book in 1183.
This small display focuses on Pease’s Mill which formed an important part of the industrial landscape of Darlington for more than two hundred years. Dating back to 1752 it was engaged in the spinning and weaving of worsted goods, occupying sites in Priestgate, Leadyard and High Northgate, and employing large numbers of local people.
