The Garner Floor

The garner is the top floor of the mill where the grains bins feeding the hoppers above the millstones were originally located. We now use metal dustbins to protect the grain from rodents.

The central walkway above the garner was used to store the sacks of grain, lifted up from the stone floor by the sack hoist, before being tipped into a grain bin, then down a chute into the hopper above the stones for milling. In the far right corner by the window is the chute leading to the aspirator.
