Taw mills, now shown on Ordnance Survey maps as Taw Green Mill. In 1746, the grist corn mills at Taw Mills were sold.

The present ruinous millhouse (gutted by fire circa 1892), lies on the west side of the road. Shown as 2,529 on tithe map. It has only one waterwheel. Wear Park (2,535) adjoins the premises.
