Built in 1844 and known as 'the black giant' Elston mill passed to the Gash family in 1919. Here, and at another mill in Long Bennington, they produced foodstuffs for farm animals. In the 1920s, however, Elston Mill became the original base of William Gash's bus service. The sails were removed in 1940.
