Traced origins in milling to Stephen, c1773-1856, and George, b1764, Cannon who established a grain milling business at South Darenth Watermill in 1806. Stephen's sons each developed their own milling businesses built on mills at Canterbury, Northfleet, Horton Kirby and elsewhere. Of these, Stephen, d1872, was the most successful emerging as a leading Kent miller with large mills at Bexley and Horton Kirby. The business was substantially developed by his son, also Stephen, who had mills at, inter alia, Bexley, Dartford and especially Erith and Lewisham. Traded as Cannon & Gaze from 1880 and soon after incorporated as Cannon & Gaze Ltd. Also controlled Medway Milling Co Ltd (at Maidstone?). 1926 merged into the newly formed Associated London Flour Mills Ltd
