Staverton Mill, Industrial mill in Staverton, England
Staverton Mill is an industrial site on the River Avon featuring a distinctive brick chimney built in 1913 that stands about 172 feet (52 meters) tall. The facility now operates as a cereal production plant manufacturing breakfast cereals for consumers.
The mill first appears in the Domesday Book of the 11th century as a woolen production center. It was later converted to process condensed milk before transitioning to grain-based food production.
The mill shows how production sites evolved from craft industries to modern food manufacturing over centuries. Walking around it, you can see how the building adapted to different industrial purposes through its architecture.
The site is visible from the outside and the chimney serves as a clear landmark in the landscape for orientation. The location sits near the river, so wear appropriate footwear and be prepared for variable weather conditions.
When it operated as a condensed milk factory, the site was one of England's largest dairy operations requiring massive quantities of fresh milk. Local farming communities supplied the facility regularly to meet its production demands.
