Drawing from F&C Piesse’s official letterhead of 1905<br />

KATANNING ROLLER FLOUR MILL<br />

The Katanning Roller Flour Mill was built by brothers Frederick and Charles Piesse. The York firm of Thorne, Bower and Stewart<br />

erected the mill in 1891 and it was officially being opened on 1st May 1891. It was equipped with machinery supplied by Otto Schumacher<br />

of Melbourne. Head miller Charles Quigley carried out the installation of the machinery. The mill was to become the most dominant<br />

in the Great Southern region, having its production capacity doubled by 1909 and extensive alterations and additions in 1912.
