City of London Flour Mills a millstone mill: Milling journals of the past at The Mills Archive

摘要

As a former "millstone miller" I am always attracted to the detailed descriptions of the large millstone mills frequently featured in the early years of The Miller. The September 2,1878 issue described Mr Hadley's City of London Flour Mills in lovingdetail. By then The Miller was reporting the sharper competition with othercountries that was rapidly developing, along with the greater varieties of wheat available. This was necessitating modifications in machinery and systems of manufacture. The formation of a National Association of millers had taken place, and local associations were springing up all over the country proving beneficial to all millers.
