Mumford's Mill, Greenwich

The inscription on the top of the building reads "1790 Mumford's Greenwich Flour Mill" although from various internet references, this building was erected in 1848. Maybe there was an earlier building on the site from 1790? It was at one time apparently "one of London’s most important flour mills", served by boats sailing up Deptford Creek. The mill was closed in the 1960s. A detailed history is apparently given in "Remnants of a Revolution: Mumford's Flour Mill, Greenwich", Jonathan Clarke, AIA Industrial Archaeology Review, Volume XXIV 2002.
