he original site of Dudbridge Mill, c 1100s, then held by Gilbert Canis. Later it was owned by Henry Halliday in 1608. Then by Daniel Chance, who in the mid 1700s, owned three mills: one corn; one gig and a dyehouse with eight drying racks. In 1794, John Apperley took it over and for the next 140 years ran a family woollen cloth making firm. In 1933, this went bankrupt and the site was taken over by Redler Conveyors who manufactured conveyors, elevators and other equipment for bulk handling and for malting |
