At this point is (R) the Ann and Hope Mill, a brick building erected in 1886 as one of the Lonsdale Company units; the mill was named for the wives of the partners of the old firm of Brown and Ives (see PROVIDENCE). Practically all the machinery in the old mill has now been scrapped or transferred elsewhere.
