Description
This site was identified from a map label, 'Mills', which was taken to refer to the buildings to the west, however these are in fact the Woods (Stepney) Pottery (HER 5280). The label probably refers to the buildings to the east, shown on the OS 1896 1:500 town plan as the 'Northumberland Mills' (HER 5149 and HER 5161).
