4 History of Stoates Mill Stoate s Mill was built in 1832 and expanded in the mid nineteenth century, making it important to the prosperity of Watchet, with ships bringing grain from Ireland to be milled and flour and bran being shipped across the ristol hannel to Wales. y then it had ten pairs of grinding stones, driven by water from the adjacent Washford River, diverted by a mill leat. In 1911 Stoates and Sons closed the mill and moved their activities to ristol. The Stoate family still produce flour and are now based at ann Mills in orset. etween 1916 and 1977 The xmoor Paper ag ompany occupied the buildings and since then various businesses used the buildings until 1991, when the buildings fell into disrepair. The 45hp turbine which once powered the xmoor Paper and ag ompany s operations has been preserved and forms a feature at the entrance to the site.
