History

The Mill House Café is one of a number of significant heritage buildings located in Brockman St, in the vicinity of the Pemberton Mill. It is thought to have been part of the mill complex, but it is not clear what it was used for. The Pemberton Mill was constructed in 1913-14, and over the next decade the town of Pemberton (then called Big Brook) grew up around the mill. Other significant buildings constructed in Brockman Street during that period include the Mill Worker’s Hall, the School, the Mill Worker’s Mess (now the Shamrock Restaurant), and the Methodist Church.
