On the banks of the Avon. The building - 'the mill' - owes its origin to the early days of aviation. Netheravon airfield - up on the Salisbury Plain plateau - was a pioneer site for military aviation, one of the Royal Flying Corps' very first locations The 'mill' was built in 1914 as a hydro-electric power-station, to supply the RFC camp with electricity generated by the waters of the Avon. Water power proved insufficient, so diesel power had to be installed. According to the company's website, the mill first became a brewery in 1984, passing into the hands of the present owner - a Danish master-brewer - in 1993 http://www.stonehengeales.co.uk/About.html I confess I have yet to taste their beer, but look forward to the opportunity . . .
