Pivington Mill

There are now approximately 20 active business enterprises at Pivington Mill: The range of activity is very diverse and includesspecialist engineering, furniture manufacture, food and catering supply, distribution, clothes hire for amateur dramatics/parties, and a coach hire from the firm.

The last 30 years have seen a significant change in industrial and service business in the parish.
The main employer in the 1960's was The Pluckley Brick and Tile Company, where 50 people worked producing the well-known Pluckley engineering bricks. The business is now closed, but the one remaining kiln and landmark chimney can be seen near the railway station. At that time the former flax factory and mill situated about 1.5miles from the village centre at Pivington Mill had limited use mainly related to agricultural storage, maintenance of heavy earth moving machinery, and grain drying/cleaning units, together with the embryo Chart Engineering Company.
