| 説明 | After leaving Haddon Hall we stopped off at Caudwell's Mill Craft Centre. It was a flour mill powered by water.At Rowsley is a unique, grade II* listed historic roller flour mill. Powered by water from the river Wye, one or more mills have stood on this site for at least 400 years. The present mill was built in 1874 by John Caudwell and run as a family business for over a century. The mill was purchased by a charitable trust and has been operated by them for over forty years. At Caudwell’s Mill, grain was milled by the same process used at the giant modern mills which now provide most of the flour for our bread, but here production was on a scale and at a speed that is both easier to understand and which did not damage the flour. mill interiorThe mill is a complete fascinating automatic ‘machine’ on four floors and usually runs daily. Most of the machinery is earlier than 1914 and is still driven by belts (often leather) and pulleys from line shafts. Elevators and Archimedean screws abound. The wheat enters the first roller mill, then the “grist” produced is “elevated” to the top floor where it enters the first plansifter. From there the graded product is passed to more roller mills and the process continued. The 22 pairs of roller mills, two purifiers and the four plansifters ensured the flour was fine enough to be sold to bakers. The mill was originally powered by two water wheels which drove 8 pairs of millstones in the flour mill and 3 pairs in the provender (animal feed) mill. After the installation of the roller mills the water wheels did not provide enough power and water turbines replaced the water wheels. Initially a 35 HP “Trent” turbine was installed in 1887 to drive the flour mill. This was still not powerful enough for the new plant and a “Francis” turbine of 80 HP replaced it in 1914 driving the flour mill via a line shaft in the cellar. Driving the provender (animal feed) mill and most of the wheat cleaning plant is a 50 HP “Little Giant” installed in 1898, which, now generates the electricity used in the mill. There are numerous displays, descriptions and hands-on models throughout the mill to make your visit enjoyable and informative. It is ideal to show children those fascinating mechanical features not to be seen elsewhere and to explore how wheat is turned into flour. The mill shop sells over 25 types of flour and 8 types of oat product in sizes from 1 kg to 25 kg, together with yeast and biscuits.Grade II* listed building.Caudwells Mill, Rowsley In the entry for: SK 26 NE ROWSLEY BAKEWELL ROAD (south side) 5/171 Caudwells Mill 2.12.77 GV II The grade shall be amended to read: SK 26 NE ROWSLEY BAKEWELL ROAD (south side) 5/171 Caudwells Mill 2.12.77 GV II* ------------------------------------ PARISH OF ROWSLEY BAKEWELL ROAD SK 26 NE 5/171 (South Side) 2.12.77 Caudwells Mill GV II Flour mill. Built in 1874, bridging a broad mill race. Rock faced and plain sandstone. Welsh slate roof. A rectangular block of seven bays on the long side. Three storeys. The east elevation has various brick and timber lean-to additions not of special interest. Otherwise windows with iron frame fixed pane glazing, stone lintels and sills. Twin semi-circular arches over the mill race. The centre part of the east elevation is raised with a 'clerestory', which houses the exhaust system. The gable end to north has a projecting enclosed hoist and large lean-to timber and corrugated iron canopy forming the loading shed. The west side has regular spacing of iron framed windows under stone lintels, except one enlarged window under an RSJ. To the south west a lean-to corrugated iron and timber structure not of special interest. The south gable end has a lower gabled bay with a single window to each floor. The internal construction is largely of timber, but with cast iron columns to the ground floor to support the original millstones on the first floor. The timber floors are butted with iron tongues. The mill is driven internally by an American 'Little Giant' turbine installed in 1898, and a Francis twin turbine installed in 1914. The machinery dates mostly from 1914. The south end of the building contains the wheat washing cleaning and provender mill and storage facilities. The flour mill section is at the north end. On the second floor are sifters dating from 1914. On the first floor are two purifiers dating from 1932 and on the ground floor are the roller mills dating mostly from 1905.
