You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.227.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:46, 23 November 2025. Your current IP address is 34.227.114.28.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Millbourne Mills''' was a [[flour mill]] owned by the Sellers family in [[Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania|Upper Darby Township]], [[Pennsylvania]], U.S., as well as the name of a former [[railroad station]] located there.  The [[Pennsylvania Railroad|Pennsylvania Railroad's]] Cardington Branch ended there, where interchange was made with the [[Philadelphia and Western Railroad]]. Deliveries were also made to the Philadelphia and West Chester Traction Company and to the [[Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company]]. No interchange of cars was possible with the latter two railroads due to the difference in [[rail gauge]]. The mill produced flour under the King Midas Flour brand.

== History ==

=== Occupation by Samuel Sellers ===
Millbourne Borough was first occupied by Samuel Sellers. The land was used for living and farming for over half a century. His grandson, [[John Sellers (scientist)|John Sellers]], purchased plots of land in the borough.

Before Sellers' death in 1804, he devised his estates to his sons, Nathan, David, John, and George. Sellers devised a plan of grist and saw-mills to his son John, Jr. These mills were built before 1749.

The mills were owned by the elder Sellers and were operated by James Steel. James continued to operate the mill until 1805 when his son, Thomas Steel, took over.

=== Expansion ===
[[File:Millbourne-Flour-Mill-Millbourne.jpg|thumb|263x263px|Birdseye view of Millbourne Mills]]
Thomas Steel purchased the Darby Mill in 1814. In that year, Sellers erected an old part of the now Millbourne Mill. John Jr., after learning the trade of a miller with Thomas Steel, took charge of the new mill.

A stream which empties into the Millbourne dam supplying the water to Millbourne Mills, in 1800, was an oil-mill, which continued until 1848. The old grist-mill stood above the present mill. In 1820, it was used for grinding [[gypsum]]. As late as 1830, Augustus C. Jones was operating the old mill in grinding [[Haematoxylum campechianum|logwood]], [[spice]]s, etc. It was later discontinued. The new mill, built in 1814, was placed under the charge of John Sellers, Jr., and was fitted with all the improved machinery of that time.<ref>((Cite book |title=Ashmead, Henry Graham. History of Delaware County, Pennsylvania.))</ref>

=== Early 1900s ===
Fred Shane and George Shane were the owners of Millbourne Mills in the early 1900s. In 1912, the Shane brothers worked with W.J. Wilson to purchase a flour mill in Hastings, Minnesota called Gardner Mills. Although initially successful, the rapid expansion led to the mill's economic difficulties. After its purchase by Wilson and the Shane brothers, Gardner Mills was renamed the King Midas Mill. The name was taken from the brand name of the flour that had been produced at Millbourne Mills.<ref>((Cite web |title=King Midas Flour |url=http://home.swipnet.se/roland/kingmidas.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061023085909/http://home.swipnet.se/roland/kingmidas.html |archive-date=23 October 2006 |url-status=dead))</ref>

== Fate ==
((Further|Millbourne, Pennsylvania))
Millbourne Mills closed in 1927. A [[Sears, Roebuck and Company|Sears]] store later occupied the location, which was later torn down. [[Millbourne, Pennsylvania|Millbourne]] exists today as a borough in Delaware County, between Upper Darby Township and the city of Philadelphia. It is served by the [[Millbourne (SEPTA station)|Millbourne Station]] on the SEPTA [[Market-Frankford Line]].
