EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the fascinating world of millstones inside the historic Carew Mill in Pembrokeshire, Wales. These ancient millstones, surrounded by wooden structures for preservation, were once instrumental in grinding corn grains to produce corn and flour.

Situated on the bank of a millpond fed by the Carew River, this 19th-century marvel exemplifies both industrial ingenuity and renewable energy technology. The image captures not only the protected interior of this British water mill but also hints at its rich history dating back to the early 1800s. The presence of these meticulously crafted stones symbolizes an era when technological advancements revolutionized milling practices. As we delve into this snapshot, we are transported to a time where environmentally friendly green solutions were already being implemented. This tidal mill stands as a testament to sustainable practices long before they became buzzwords in our modern vocabulary.
