This polygon, currently shown as a garage, is first depicted as such in 1967. Previous uses of which there is no legibility include a Gas Works (depicted from 1891-1948) and the paper mill recorded on historic OS maps and SMR record 235. This mill is thought to have been the 'Sunderland End or East Paper Mill' whose history can be traced back through documentary sources to 1610/11 (Schmoller 1992, 112). One 17th century legal document cites that the paper mill was constructed on the site of an 'ancient' water corn mill (ibid).
