In 1970 a major factory extension was added, and since 1975 they have traded as Swizzels-Matlow Ltd.

Phoenix

tarboat has posted:

The original Phoenix Brewery Company at Heywood was registered in 1874 and had something of a chequered history, going bankrupt three times. The last occasion was in 1939, when about 120 pubs were owned, prompting its purchase and closure by the Cornbrook Brewery of Old Trafford. The equipment was sold off to aid the war effort but the tower today remains an impressive sight both inside and out. Within everything is in place, apart from the various vessels - even painted signs denoting the hop rooms . The current microbrewery of the same name occupies the old maltings while the Victorian offices have been restored for occasional functions.

Hutchison's Mill

tarboat has posted:

Hutchisons Mill at Kirkcaldy has a long history of flour production, dating back to 1826 when Robert Hutchison developed a grain processing plant which would eventually occupy a great swathe of the port area of East Kirkcaldy.

The mill is one of only two remaining flour mills in Scotland. Although still on its original site, there has been substantial investment at the Kirkcaldy site. In 2010 the port facilities were re-opened and in 2013 a new mill was built alongside the existing wheat storage facility. At the time of building this was the most technologically advanced mill in the UK.

The Hutchison, Kirkcaldy mill has served the Scottish bakery market successfully for many years and understand the special demands of the customers. The mill was specifically designed to include the flexibility required to produce the unique Scottish grades of flours.

Flour from locally-grown wheat is still regarded as the key ingredient in Scottish shortbread and biscuits. The mill’s port location enables the import of top quality grain via a cargo boat. At Kirkcaldy 70% of the wheat is delivered by boat and the remaining wheat is sourced locally from Scotland and North East England.

The Carr business was founded by Jonathan Dodgson Carr in the 1830s and has two other mills at Silloth and Maldon. Since 2016 it has been owned by Whitworth Holdings. Carr’s head office is based at the Kirkcaldy site.

At the wharf is the 'MAIKE' which is a German registered General Cargo ship that was built in 1989. Her carrying capacity is 2339 tonnes DWT.
