Probably photographed because the flour mill had been rebuilt after a major fire in September 1923. Only the shell of the old mill remained then; the loss was estimated at £90,000. In 1932 Thomas Hanley & Sons Ltd commissioned a new grain-carrying sailing barge from Richard Dunston's yard at Thorne. It was used primarily to bring grain from Hull docks. |
