History

Before Mills & Ware and Italian pastry cook was established on the site. The Ross Confectionary Company was on the site in the late 1880s.

Mills & Ware started in the 1950s.

The West Australian reported in May 1993 that the Mills & Wares site will be named the Biscuit Factory Village under a $12 million redevelopment plan, converting the factory site to a 40-home complex as well as warehouse style apartments and a commercial wing. It reports that the 24 000m2 site closed the previous year (1992). The development will include a 40 lot residential subdivision (on the factory’s car park), 5 studio apartments, 5 townhouses, a cafe/restaurant, a medical sports centre and retail shops. The original flour lofts (at 21 Jenkin Street) would be converted featuring some of the original architecture. A 6 metre jarrah water tower on the site was contentious.
