Below is some background information about the town of Yarm.  From (www.yarm.co.uk)

Yarm has been around since the 12th century - it was even mentioned in the Doomsday Book.  Yarm was originally the main port on the River Tees; the port of Yarm handled everything from corn, flour, cheese, butter and bacon.  Vessels up to 60 Tons managed the difficult journey up the River Tees to Yarm.  Yarm's role as a port declined as Stockton - on - Tees developed, its shipping trade declined through the 18th century.
