NEW PUBLICATION

26 November 2010

The results of our 2007 excavation in Barrow-in-Furness are now published: 'The Barrow Steam Corn Mill, 1870-1972', Transactions of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society. This is, as far as we are aware, the only example where the entire footprint of a late 19th century steam corn mill has been excavated, its dockside location allowing the processing of vast quantities of imported grain, although its earliest incarnation had a drying kiln that was apparently largely processing oats. The report also includes a basic chronology of bricks produced locally by William Gradwell, the 'builder of Barrow'.
