Weston Mill

Weston Mill is a district in the ward of Ham, which is part of the City of Plymouth, Devon, England. It shares borders with the Camel's Head, King's Tamerton, North Prospect and St. Budeaux districts of Plymouth. The area derived its name from being the mill belonging to the tithing of Weston Peverel, otherwise known as the parish of Pennycross. It was possibly the oldest mill in the Plymouth area as a deed of Geoffrey de Weston mentions Ham as being on the west side of the road from the mill.

It is situated close to the major naval base Devonport Dockyard, and the majority of the housing in the area is privately owned. The A3064 'St. Budeaux Bypass' also runs through the area. Together with King's Tamerton the area's population in the 2001 census, was 4,647, of which 50.2 per cent were male and 49.8 per cent were female.

Weston Mill Primary School (formerly Camel's Head Primary School), is the main state primary school in the area with the nearest secondary schools being Marine Academy Plymouth (in King's Tamerton) and All Saints Church of England Academy (in Honicknowle). There is no local independent provision.

The nearest local shopping centre is 'the square' in St Budeaux, with a small collection of convenience stores in neighbouring Ham and North Prospect. Dance Krazy, a dancewear store, is in the area. There is also the local convenience store in Bridwell Road called "Weston Mel Stores". The Weston Mill Hotel, is the main public house in the vicinity.
