the person who created it probably saw the catalogue and designed it to look like it, alternatively it had the sliding roof which rotted and was replaced, however, the timber hatches under the roof structure are definitely weathered, the hatches would not lift under the structure, and some of the original timber had been crudely sawn short to allow the structure to fit, My feeling is that the structure was some ones interpretation from the catalogue I would love any info, this mill is 1890 something so before this idea?

there is some rot in the forecarriage support timbers, and on the top works the external deck timbers,(the overhanging ones) the tin lining where the drum and concave sit are a bit lacey, I thought I may line with s/s. ???? the canvas bits all need replacing but generally not too bad, although I don't think it would be wise to put a belt on it just yet.

that may be the case piers, but having had drums on all three, they travel the best by far on wooden wheels, they are much smoother, iron is very harsh on the machines especially on the rough lanes round here, rubbers unless pumped up really hard are u/s and tend to bounce, timber is much better and flexes with the terrain, provided they're in good order timber wheels are preferable to the others, that said there's a bit of work in repairing/ making new ones, though I've now got all the gear...
