Some history
It was built in 1905 by William Vernon and Sons, bought by Spillers shortly afterwards and named after their “Millennium Flour” of the time, though apparently the mill was also used for making the dog food for which Spillers were famous. The Mill closed in the mid 80's along with the rest of the Victoria docks. The Mill will be turned into up to 5000 luxury flats as part of the proposed Silvertown Quays development. This would have gone ahead already except for the fact that the money was due to come from Bank of Scotland, who have recently had quite enough on their plate without funding more Docklands development!
Me and tom pulled up outside to discovery that the mill was over looked by flats, but did it put us off of course not! Once in and almost forgot tom almost fell in river . We had to find away into the mill. Which looked imposible but Got in finally we visited Rank Hovis mill which was the smaller mill at the back. We could not find access into Spillers Millennium Mills. This was the most dangerous places i have explored with massive holes in the floor where old machines would of once been and wrotten floor! But it was an amazing place to visit. Might go back soon to see about exploring Spillers Millennium Mills which has alot more
