This 115ft-tall grain silo structure was built for Spillers in the 1940s and remained in use until the early 1980s. The reinforced-concrete structure was slowly demolished in 2008 |

There was a second roller flour mill in West Hoe Road, dating from 1889 or earlier, known as the Great Western Flour Mills. Did it survive the bombing of Plymouth in the Second World War? West Hoe Road can be seen left of centre in this shot |
