Flour Mill Wheatley street
The City Mill was a steam flour mill which was built opposite Swanswell Park in 1854. At the official opening 14 men climbed to the top of its 200 ft. chimney and had lunch there. There was a serious fire at the premises in 1918, but they survived until 1968 when the mill closed and the building was demolished. The site is currently occupied by a Bus Garage.
