Thanks for your input.

I have not been certain about the location myself. Had to separate the two South Shields Mills:

Phillips Paper Trade 1923: Hendon Paper Works Co., Ltd., Hendon Mill (8),
Hendon, Sunderland (E). N.R.S., Sunderland. T.A., “Hendon, Sunderland.” T.N., 192. Four Paper Machines, one 92 ins. two 90 ins., one 86 ins. T.S. and E.S. Writings, Envelope, Printings, Music, Cartridges, etc.; also Tinted Writings, Plain and D.E.; all qualities in either M.F. or S.C.

Also Ford Paper Works, Ltd., Hylton (83), nr. Sunderland (E). N.R.S., Hylton. T.A., ” Ford, Hylton.” T.N., 135. Four machines, 100 ins., 90 ins., 72 ins. and 60 ins. E.S. Writings, Printings, Fine News, Music and Cartridges.

The 8 and 83 in brackets refer to the Mill Excise Number.

For locations: Hendon http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/image/epw016392 Gives Grid Ref NZ 411551

Ford http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/image/epw016427  Gives Grid Ref NZ 361574 I think it could have been to the east at NZ370579

Have now found http://www.twsitelines.info/SMR/2776 which gives location as NZ35965734 so pretty well as the britainfromabove.
