The calcined flint and limestone blocks are rotated around the water filled grinding pan until a sufficiently fine grain size is achieved. The solution is tapped off into the washing tub.
Mills Open Weekend 2011

National Mills Weekend is an annual celebration of the UK's milling heritage. The event is organised by the Mills Section of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.
The 2011 dates were the 14th and 15th May. Over 450 buildings were open to visitors meaning many to choose from. They ranged from fully working wind and water mills to under restoration or rarely open buildings.
