'Sale and Eastwood' Corn, Chaff and Hay Dealers was the business of James Sale and Alfred Eastwood. They dissolved their partnership by mutual consent on 2 December 1880 and James Sale carried on the business on his own account.[1]

The chaff mill was destroyed by fire on 1 March 1890.[2] It seems the mill was not rebuilt as further references to it were not found and James Sale and his family, relocated to Western Australia.


See “Gawler’s Industrial Buildings 1839 – 1939” by Susan Phillips and Michael Pilkington (1980), pages 36-38, for details of the mill and map on page 11 for location.
