Phoenix Saw Mills

From London's Ghost Acres


In 1850, there are references Phoenix Sawmills was run by a man named Birch located near Cumberland Market, Regents-park. These sawmills contributed prepared lumber to the building of the Crystal Palace for the 1851 Great Exhibition. https://books.google.com/books?id=ZZc0AQAAMAAJ&lpg=PA433&ots=985wG8pqbp&dq=Phoenix%20Saw%20Mills%20london&pg=PA401#v=onepage&q=Phoenix%20Saw%20Mills%20london&f=false

In 1892 a Phoenix Sawmills located in Poplar was bought by Blyth and Pascoe from its previous owners, Brown Kruse and Co. https://books.google.ca/books?id=iMw2AQAAMAAJ&lpg=PA368-IA19&ots=-cbgne7eor&dq=Blyth%20and%20Pascoe%20and%20Brown%20Kruse%20and%20Co.&pg=PA368-IA18#v=onepage&q&f=false

There are references to the sale of a Phoenix Saw Mill in 1899, https://archive.org/stream/japandailymail3218unse#page/362/mode/2up

but in a 1905 legal notice about the death of James Rogers Pascoe still mentions Phoenix Saw Mills. http://find.galegroup.com/ttda/infomark.do?&source=gale&prodId=TTDA&userGroupName=usaskmain&tabID=T003&docPage=article&searchType=&docId=CS285929579&type=multipage&contentSet=LTO&version=1.0

Phoenix Saw Mills likely used timber from Russia, Germany, the United States of America, Sweden, Norway, and Canada.
