  1. The lower warehouses on the river bank in the last years before demolition were used by Walkers tannery to store the pelts on pallets.

  2. The viaduct at Yarm was built by the Leeds and Great Northern Railway. The buiding beneath it just upstream from the road bridge was a tannery and vinegar works.

  3. The building visible through the arch on the left is Wren`s Malt Vinegar Brewary. I have no details of the history of Wren`s facility but I remember as a child walking from the Stockton-Yarm main road through an enormous arch in the Brewary facade which led to the fields and the river-bank on the other side.
