EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the old flour mill in Ewell, Surrey. The image showcases a skilled craftsman meticulously chipping away at the cutting edges of a traditional millstone, known as dressing. This process was essential for maintaining the functionality of the millstone and ensuring high-quality flour production.
The rural setting and historical significance of this scene transport viewers back to circa 1930, when such mills were vital to communities across Surrey. The intricate machinery and age-old skills required for this task are evident in every detail captured by Mary Evans Picture Library.
As we gaze upon this snapshot of industry and tradition, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our heritage and honoring those who dedicated their lives to such craftsmanship. The flat surface of the millstone serves as a canvas for centuries-old techniques that have stood the test of time.
This print is not just a visual representation but also a tribute to an era when manual labor and precision were valued above all else. It serves as a reminder that history is alive within these stones, waiting to be uncovered by those who appreciate its beauty and significance.
