Was that the mill Colleen and Jack Marris owned at one time
They later went on to own Pineacres Motels outside Kaiapoi

Craig Marris
Brian Steele yes partners with Charle Woollett

I lived at pine acres for about a year before I went back to live in Runanga

Stu Woollett
A poor photo I took of the same mill about the same time, but from another perspective.
No cloud, so Glasgow Range visible in the background. Without doubt; Marris & Woollett, Seddonville.
May be an image of text

If you couldnt see the mountain it was raining !!

Ann Hobden
Do you have any dates for this mill?

Michael Doreen Ryan
Definably Maris & Woolett's Charming Creek on the left as you get to the top of the windy hill & just before the turn off for the bush road to the MT Glasgow track

Ken Barr
I worked in both mills. This is Marris and Woolletts up Charming Creek not Brumbles.

Rex Anthony Knight
Straight ahead down the shingle road from the Waimangaroa pub. Often used get a load of slab off-cuts there for firewood when McDonalds had the mill, or sometimes they'd have it already sawn up into blocks the right size for the old Lady Kitchener!
