A pair of small, thin, one piece millstones, on display inside the reconstructed mill building that represents Bycroft's watermill.
Mill Stones from John Bycroft's flour mill at Onehunga.
These stones were made from Onehunga basalt. They were donated by the Onehunga Fensible and Historical Society (Inc.).
In 1890 Bycroft's discarded mill stones in favour of roller machinery which was used almost universally at that time. Similar mill stones were probably used in this mill house, built for John Bycroft on the Wiri Stream at Manurewa in 1855.
