This book brings together a series of essays which unfold and
illuminate the history of the Irish flour milling industry from the
medieval period to the present day. Milling was one of Ireland's
foremost industries, playing a critically important role in the
local economy of many districts, servicing farmers needs and
processing some of the key components in the Irish food supply.
Despite being the most widely dispersed industry in the country,
with bread and other milling components playing a central role in
the Irish diet, the topic has not received the attention it
deserves from social or economic historians, who've focused more on
the potato. This book addresses that lacunae and incorporates a
range of new research to form a compre-hensive overview.
Attractively illustrated by a large collection of photographs and
drawings, Irish Flour milling will be of particular interest to
social, economic and local historians, industrial archaeologists,
ethnologists and anthropologists, and the many people with family
connections to the industry: Bolands, Hallinans and Hughes;
Pollexfens, Russells, Odlums and Shackletons. Contributors include:
Dr Colin Rynne (NUI, Cork), on the industrial archaeology of Irish
flour milling from the medieval period to 1880; Professor Louis
Cullen (Trinity College, Dublin), on eighteenth-century flour
milling; Dr Andy Bielenberg (NUI, Cork), on flour milling during
the Union; Dr Richard Harrison (historian), on the Quakers and
Irish flour milling 1790-1930; Glynn Jones (author of The Millers),
on the introduction of rollers into flour milling 1880-1925; Dr
Akihiro Takei (Osaka Gakuin University), on the political economy
of Irish flour milling 1922-45; and Norman Campion (milling
consultant), on Irish milling since the Second World War.
