The old Parker Candy Mill burnt down yesterday. It was a small two story mill building just off Quequechan and Alden Street up the Flint End of the city.
As a child we played around in this mill yard.
The famous Parker Candy mill sign, painted on the side of the building, has been there most of my life. It could be seen from route 195 on the right side of the highway as one returned from New Bedford heading West.
The building is a total loss. It stood just behind the Wampanoag Mill No. 1. The Wampanoag building is huge, and luckily still standing and escaped damage.
Good bye Parker>
