Travel Guide

Burtreeford Mill, Cowshill This large three-floored corn mill is built into the riverbank so the top floor is level with the top of the bank. The water wheel was driven by water from both Killhope Burn and Sedling Burn. It was built in the early 19th century and was used until 1939. The machinery was finally removed in 1990 and it is now a private dwelling http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRNMAP=D4640

Little gem
Lovely property, near to the town centre. However, there was no phone signal for O2 or Vodaphone. There is a landline insitu for emergencies. The cars, vans etc go right past the windows, so there was a fair bit of road noise in the lounge / kitchen dining area. The bedroom was nice and quiet ...
