HISTORY
The Andrews family first built a flour mill in Comber Co. Down in 1722. A new flour mill was erected in Comber in 1771. It was by all reports an imposing building five storeys high and costing the large sum in those days of £1400. This was financially difficult as there were no banks from which to borrow.

Milling continued in Comber until 1883 by which time two mills operated by the Andrews family were producing in Belfast. The second Belfast mill was closed in 1895 and sold to Thomas Gallaher for his new tobacco factory.

Since that date milling has been centered on the Belfast Mills site at Percy Street. During the twentieth century many problems have been encountered including two World Wars and flour imports from N. America but despite this continual improvement has occurred.
