This was the last timber mill to operate in Boddington and represents the important role of the timber industry to the area. The site suggests the significant impact the timber industry has had on the township.
No sign of the timber mill remains, besides from the saw dust that is prominent in the soil. Machinery and timber mill ruins have been cleared for residential development.
AH Gordon and Son's Timber Mill was initially known as Coops' Mill. It was later purchased by 'Pud' Faulkner. The most recent owners and operators were the Gordons.
The timber industry has provided opportunities for agriculture in the Boddington area. Former land, licensed for timber milling, was later utilise for farming, which assisted the development of the Boddington Township into the late 1900's.
