| Title | Wellington Tannery |
| Description | Wellington Tannery. Built late 1860s by Theodore Talbot as tannery. From 1877 1883, used as an adjunct to Joppa Tannery by Richard Nickols. Used for leather finishing for much of the 20th century, then renamed Valley Mills and converted to cloth finishing.
Three narrow buildings, in two parallel ranges flanking a covered yard. The building facing Washington Street is three storeys and was refaced in the late 20th century. Other buildings two storeys, one substantially rebuilt on steel frame. Original boiler house survives at the back of the site.
