Crown Flour Mills:

The main building of Meek's Crown Roller Flour Mills still stands, though now housing a car breakers called Smash Palace. The conversion of the builing to a car breakers has meant that the floors of the mill have been cut to insert car ramps to allow cars to be driven inside the mill, but there is a surprising amount of milling interest still visible, including a number of hoists and line shafting.
