Old Billingham is the subject of three watercolours which are included in this print. Taken as prints from the original works, the images show Billingham Watermill, Billingham Green and Billingham Grange farmhouse c1900. The lands belonging to Billingham Grange were to be swallowed up by the Synthetic Ammonia & Nitrates Ltd factory although the old farmhouse survived until the 1980's. The watermill also became a casualty of the industrial development, being demolished in the 1930s.
