DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Mill House
Registered Name Mill House
Significance Mill House was built as part of the c1855 Middleton Flour Mill (State Heritage Place No 10356), known also as Bowman's Mill, the largest steam-driven flour mill on the Fleurieu Peninsula. As part of the former mill complex, Mill House is significant because of its association with the history of the region and the important role of grain and flour production in the early economic development of the colony of South Australia. The Mill was founded soon after the construction of the railway from Goolwa to Port Elliot, and flourished during that time when the area south of Adelaide was the chief grain-growing region of South Australia, supplying flour to other colonies and overseas. The significance of the Mill House is enhanced by, and contributes to, the other buildings that form part of the complex. The Mill House in its setting provides an insight into the workings of an early industrial site with integrated domestic structures, and is part of an outstanding example of a mid-nineteenth century flour mill complex.

Disclaimer

While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Council areas, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the Planning and Design Code or their local council for Local Heritage Places.

In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
