The largest stone-ground flour mill in the world

Dave Weatherson from Queen’s Mill in Castleford talks to Gayle Lofthouse.

The West Yorkshire Archaeological Society reports that a working mill has existed by the River Aire in Castleford since Roman times. Flour has been produced on the site of Queen’s Mill for nearly 900 years, with only brief interruptions. During the medieval period, the mills primarily processed wheat, a tradition that continues to this day.
