Old photos show that at one time this was the Grey Bull Hotel. It is now operating as a bistro-style restaurant. The 'mill race' name (also applied as a name to the street on the opposite side of the main road) is connected with a long mill race fed from a weir on the river west of the town which ran parallel to the River Wear on its north bank, powering forges and mills, including a corn mill about where the caravan site is today.
