Kinderton Mill House

Kinderton Mill, Kinderton Street, Middlewich.

In 1857 Samuel Pickering (1808-74) arrived at Kinderton Mill, at about age 49. He had been the miller at Sutton Mill on the River Wheelock, which was about a mile and a half south east. Samuel (1808-74) was 48 years old and employed two journeymen millers and a labourer. In 1871 Samuel Pickering (1808-74) was still nominally the miller at Kinderton, with him was his son-in-law Edmund Meers who worked as a General Clerk. Son Thomas Pickering (1836-) worked as a miller as did their ‘lodger’ Thomas Hulse. After 1871 Thomas Pickering (1836-) was listed as the miller at Kinderton in his own right and by 1881 he had been joined as miller by his young son Samuel  (1863-) aged 18 and another an apprentice miller aged 17. Thomas Pickering (1836-) continued to be listed as the miller until 1910 by which time he was 73. Thomas must have died not long after 1910 because in 1914 his widow Martha Pickering and his son Samuel (1863-) were listed as millers at Kinderton Street. Also in both 1910 and 1914.
