Businesses, mills and venues
The Lloyd grist mill is the brick mill at 101 B Street in Carrboro, built in 1916 to replace the frame grist mill and cotton gin that Thomas F. Lloyd and William Pritchard put up by the West End depot in 1883, the beginning of the community. Restored in 1981, it became the Broad Street shop.

These books don’t necessarily mention Lloyd grist mill, but they cover where it stands, its kind of building and the land, family and burial records behind it, and they are where a search for a place like this usually goes next. All are at OCPL, most in the Wall Collection.
