The Flour Mill is located near Suddery on Edward's Branch Line.
History
When first introduced, the mill was smaller and had a water wheel on one side. At one point, the foreman of the flour mill trialled Lorry 3 as an alternative to the railway, however quickly reverted to sending goods by rail after the lorry broke down on a level crossing.[1] There was also a sawmill opposite the flour mill, where George was sent to work for a week as punishment after causing accidents for Thomas, Gordon and Duck.[2]
The mill was later rebuilt as a much larger building, without the water wheel. The sawmill also disappeared. Emily was at one point given the task of pulling the daily flour trains between the mill and Knapford, however was later reallocated to the Black Loch run after two incidents with the trucks.[3]
