Buckingham: Former Station Mills
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 17 Oct 2010
On the corner of Station Road, to the left, and Chandos Road, to the right, and opposite the site of the former Image is this building, the former Station Mills corn mill, now the Chandos Road building of The University of Buckingham. The building is shown on an 1881 Ordnance Survey 1:500 scale map with a railway siding running from the station goods yard via a small turntable through an archway in the building approximately where the reception entrance is on the left now. This turntable also served a longer siding that went across Station Road and down over the River Great Ouse to the Town Mill. By 1900 the building was shown as a milk factory, so it has had at least three completely different uses in its life. The small extension with the stone date tablet states "1934" while the extension to the left is 20th century too. However the postbox in the wall at the near corner is Victorian.
