With the advent of roller milling, large flour mills became established at ports. Imported grain from North America was found to be better suited for production of flour. Locally grown wheats produced a softer grain. Local wind- and water-mills using millstones were unable to compete with the industrial port mills but some survived into the twentieth century producing animal feeds |

F. A. Frost and Sons of Chester merged with Spillers in 1920. Spillers had been established by Joel Spiller in Bridgwater, Somerset, in 1829. The firm's first steam mill was functioning in that town in 1833. [Source: http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Spillers] |
