Paulton history
Hill House was built in around 1760 by John Hill (1729–1789) It was owned by his descendants until 1883 when it was leased to tenants until 1902. The parish was part of the hundred of Chewton during the reign of Edward III.
Coal mining
Paulton basin is the terminus of the northern branch of the Somerset Coal Canal. The canal carried record tonnages of coal during the 1820s and 1830s. The deepest mine of its time (1800 feet) was at Timsbury; the largest drydock on the canal system in the country is on the east side of the canal.
Modern industry
Paulton was the location of the first Great Mills DIY store, and the company’s head office was located adjacent to the store. It used to be called Old Mills DIY, by virtue of the fact that the store was sited on the former Old Mills colliery baths site.
Housing
In 2009–2015 the Purnells factory was replaced with 420 houses, a family restaurant, green places, small industrial units and a park.
