(Do you know something about the history of the Hammond Mill? Please scroll down and leave a comment and / or upload an image!)

“The mill has been an integral part of the life of Hammond since 1910. First called the Bailey Lumber Company, by 1912 it was the Port Hammond Lumber Company, by 1916 it was the Hammond Cedar Mill, and in 1946 was taken over by B.C. Forest Products. The mill had two large water towers, and its own wharf on the Fraser River; the lumber was moved by barges as well as by the railway. It was at one point the largest Red Cedar mill in the world, and is still in active operation today.”
