Description:

View of the flour mill at Bridgewater On Loddon. The township began as a settlement for miners at Inglewood, 6 km
away, because the water at Inglewood became unsuitable for drinking.
Within two years of the settlement occurring a bridge (1862) was built
across the Loddon River at Bridgewater.

A post office was opened in 1868 and a school in 1871. In common with
many country towns a flour mill was opened in Bridgewater in 1874, but
the Bridgewater mill is most unusual in that it has continued until the
present day after rebuilding and several expansions.
