Spillers Millenium Mills

A fifty nine acre site along the Royal Victoria Docks in the south east of London.

Founded in 1905

The Mills represent one of London’s few remaining landmarks paying homage to Britain’s post-industrial Landscape and looms over the famous Excel exhibition centre situated across the river.

All three flour mills at the Royal Docks survived the closure of the docks and were still standing in 1990. Sadly, the Premier and CWS mills were demolished in the following decade. Only the granary of the Millennium Mills still stands.

It is likely to be converted into housing once the area is redeveloped. The smaller building to the left of the Millennium Mills was once the Rank Hovis Premier Mill.

visited with Dmax.

^^^:lol: My cousin was a crewman on one of those. He was in the one that had the film crew in though not the one that flew the band. It was his only claim to fame, ace song as well :thumb Great stuff SS didn't realise there was so much stuff left in there. Number three's the winner for me.
