Dresden Mill

William Mellor Meigh’s principal occupation was that of flint and colour grinder, at Dresden Mill, off Bucknall New Road, Hanley, a business which he took over from his father (Job Meigh II) c. 1840. 
He was still running the colour mill in 1851 when he described his occupation in the census of that year as “Farmer”: 

In 1866 William Mellor Meigh Snr. retired as a colour manufacturer and the business was taken over by his eldest son. (William Mellor Meigh II)
