Summary

John Dunn's Mill, Bridgewater. John Dunn owned a mill in Devon before he immigrated with his wife and four children to South Australia. On arrival he bought land near Nairne and built a windmill for grinding flour. He established many mills including the Bridgewater Mill in 1860 which operated on steam and water from Cox's Creek. The floods of 1870 washed away the newly completed mill along with the older dam and three bridges. When he died in 1894 he owned eleven mills
