摘要

An 1895 mill profile in The Miller started with this claim: “Among East Anglian millers, one is very notable, that of William Green of ‘Gold Belt’ Brantham and Raydon Mill.”Mr Green was born in 1853, making him 42 years old when thearticle was written. Starting outin agriculture he soon moved on to become a flour salesman. He then decided he wanted not only to sell flour, but to produce it. Pursing his ambition, in 1880 he rented Raydon Mill in Suffolk and met with immediate success. Although not having any milling experience, he persevered, and apparently there was no more enthusiastic miller in East Anglia.
