The St Anne's Board Mills started operating on a massive new site on the other side of the River Avon, less than a mile away. The company began as Mardon, Son and Hall as suppliers to the tobacco trade in the nineteenth century. After increasing the printing and packaging business the St Anne's site was chosen to build new premises. The company employed hundreds of local people at its peak and this social club was provided for them. Although the presses and machinery are now history, the social club lives on.
