Kingston Mill
Kingston House, better known today as The Hall dates from the c: 1600. During the c.18 it was the property of the Duke of Kingston, and subsequently of Lord Newark

Thomas Divett bought the site from Lord Newark in 1805. The site included a water corn mill with a to 10 h.p. wheel. Nearby Divett built a factory, which was in use by 1807 when an attempt was made to destroy it. The mill was run by the firm of Divett and Co. and in 1816 employed 89 hands. The company later became Divett, Price, Jackson and Co and stayed on the site until about 1820.

In 1820 the site was let to Hopkins and Howard, a firm that had been in Bradford for several years, and they occupied it until 1826 By 1825 they were using a steam engine.

The factory stood empty for about ten years after they left, and was then let to Samuel Pitman, who moved from Silver Street, Trowbridge. Pitman's business failed to survive the Bradford depression of 1841-2 and although Pitman's name still appeared in the 1844 directory it's believed the site was empty between 1842 and 1848.

In 1848 The Hall, factory and old mill were bought by Stephen Moulton, the chief pioneer of the expansion of the rubber industry in England, from the Divett family. At this time, power was obtained from a 20 h.p. Wheel in the factory, a 10 h.p. Wheel in the mill, and a 24 h.p. steam engine. The factory contained some machinery that was still the property of the Divett family including gigs, scribbling and carding engines, billies and cutters. There was also a dye-house on the site.

The main factory building remained in use as part of the rubber factory of George Spencer, Moulton and Co., subsequently the Avon Rubber Co., until it was demolished in 1972.

The mill was built of Bath stone, had five stories with attics and eleven bays, 111 ft. by 30 ft. The roof had three long ranges of dormers on each side, and had perhaps been used as a wind stove; all the casements were pivoted so that they lay flat when opened to allow free passage of the air. Above was a central bell turret of timber. The windows rose from prominent string courses and differed from standard design in that each of the two lights was segment-headed.

A painting of the site soon after Moulton had acquired it shows other smaller buildings nearby, one of which evidently housed the engine and boilers. The dye-house stood separately a little to the east.

The factory and mill were demolished in 1972 and the site was subsequently covered with a complex of buildings.
