Bunbury Mill - the gear (or meal) room

This shows the wooden hurst frame with the pit wheel in the background. The gear to the left is a stone nut that drives one of the three pairs of stones. The gear in the centre is not a true 'stone nut' as it drives the crown wheel operating the auxiliaries. As such, it does have a jacking gear to disengage it but does not have tentering gear. Two meal spouts are visible and brought the flour down from the stones above.
