Tin Mill
Tin Mill on Uxbridge Brook, Uxbridge, Durham Region, Ontario. This mill dates back to 1860 when it was a flour and grist mill. It made Merry Wives Pastry Flour, Five Crown and White Rose Bread. It was once powered by a water wheel which was at the back of the mill and when the Uxbridge brook was much deeper. The millrace ran from the Centennial Park pond. As with most of these mills, fire of course had to have its way. The mill was rebuilt in 1920. The mill was turned into a leather goods factory in 1946 and became the town tannery. Another fire ended the tannery business in the 1960s. The current owners bought the mill in 2006 and beautifully restored it by de-charring the original hand hewn beams. Today the Tin Mill restaurant and bar are located in the building and the décor hints at its mill beginnings everywhere. I had lunch there and the food and ambience was a delight. The building was named the tin mill after the recouped tin panels.
