At the time of the photo, Scarah Mill and the associated farm was doing business as RC Bland & Sons; the principals at the time being Messrs JR and HG Bland. My Dad worked there from circa 1944 to 1969 and I spent much of my childhood traipsing around the area. The farm would have been wound up in the late 1960's and the mill a few years later. An unrelated business distributing animal feeds and associated products still operates from part of the site but the original mill and farm buildings were converted to housing |
