Spillers flour and animal foodstuff factory at Avonmouth as seen in the late 1940s. Spillers factory was inside the dock area at Avonmouth, it was a flour mill, an animal feed mill, and a dry petfood factory.

Ships would pull up alongside the factory and the grain and other strange ingredients would be sucked up into giant silos. The factories were quit tall, being on about eight levels, and almost everything inside except the machinery was made of wood. If you didn't want to climb all those stairs there were "man lifts" attached to a continuously moving belt.

You had to jump on and off at the right moment before the little platform disappeared through the ceiling or the floor. There was also high speed unprotected belts and a spiral sack chute. - a very dangerous place but also very interesting with some real characters working in it.
