Wire Machine Restoration The Trust's volunteer team is currently restoring a Wire Machine which was obtained from the demolished, former watermill of nearby Belton. The machine was used to sieve run-of-mill flour in order to produce fine flour by removing partly ground grains.
The team have constructed a new casing to replace the original, badly, woodworm-eaten original and, having refurbished the iron work, are now fixing the wire gauzes and fitting the brush-bars, which push the flour through the gauzes. It is hoped that this machine will be ready for the reopening of the Mill in April for the 2005 season. The mill is now closed on Sunday afternoons but can be opened by special arrangement for parties at any time. |
