Time was, Bishops Mills was home to a cheese factory (right on Kemptville Creek). There's not much left of it now, and no sign of the walls or foundation — only rusty old boilers and other cheese-making mechanical contraptions. The land's for sale, too.

The boiler of the Cheese Factory, other than the one you’ve photographed, blew up in 1928, killing, I believe, 2 people. The remains of the entirely wooden building burned down about 10 yrs ago. This is a great site for Hypsizygus ulmarius, the Manitoba Maple Knothole Mushroom, though many of the Manitoba Maples were badly broken in the 1998 ice storm, and the dying trees have ceased to produce mushrooms.
