The 19th-century mill chimney was replaced in 1913 when the boiler house was modernised. The new chimney was built in brick by the German firm
Alphons Custodis, was 172 feet high with a 6 ft 6in diameter, and cost £1,056 to construct. There was a cast-iron water tank built by Dortmund around the

production, after which the top two stories of the mill were removed and the building became offices, a canteen and stores. The new owners replaced the water wheel with a 43 horsepower (32 kW) vortex water turbine and installed equipment including 6-foot (1.8 m) copper vacuum pans, coolers,

About 1800, the old mill was bought by John Jones, who replaced the old building. In July 1802 the mill, called the "Staverton
Superfine Woollen Manufactory" was attacked as part of a series of disputes about pay. By 1813, Staverton mill had 40 looms. After a fire in 1824, further rebuilding resulted

Nestlé produced cans on the site for many years, for the milk plant and later for the bean factory, which produced cans of baked beans and pasta in sauce (sold under their own label and for supermarket own-brands). The can manufacturing unit was closed on the site in 1989, as cans could be procured

at a cost of £750,000. The milk cannery closed in 1972 and was refitted as a yoghurt manufacturing plant, dovetailing with Nestlé's 1978 acquisition of the
Chambourcy brand. By 1980 the factory was producing 72 million pots of yoghurt per annum.

more cheaply than they could be made, and Nestlé as a whole moved away from over a century of can-making (except for odd sizes e.g. for catering coffee and milk powder, which continued to be made at
Dalston, near Carlisle).

The brick chimney was a local landmark for much of the century, but was demolished in 1989 and replaced with a much taller metal stack. The Cross & Blackwell factory closed in 1995 and the site was transferred to
