Geocache Description:


The origins of mustard date back to 3000BC, but mustard as we know it comes from Durham in 1720.

The famous Durham Mustard was discovered by Mrs Clements who found that grinding mustard seeds like flour produced a stronger more pungent mustard.

Durham mustard was hugely popular and after obtaining a patent from Gerorge I, who was a great fan, Mrs Clements travelled throughout England taking orders for her product.

Later the business passed to a stationer called Ainsley but after facing competition from imported brands the Durham mustard ceased to be produced. The original Durham mustard has passed into the hands of Colemans of Norwich. We know it today as English Mustard.




The start of the cache is located by No. 73-75 Saddler Street, look up and towards the market square and you will see a large teapot on the wall, this is where a grocer's shop once existed, to the rear was Mrs Clements Durham mustard factory. If you are caching during the day time, please head into Saddlers Yard, where you can view a lot of the 16th Century buildings.

Try the cafe, the best in Durham, we highly recommend the coffee and fabulous cakes, you'll often find us there!
