Saxmundham museum which opened
earlier this month has a 1/32 scale model of Saxmundham post mill, recently built by John Goldsmith and his brother.
The mill was reputed to be the tallest post mill in Europe, until the buck was taken down in 1907. The last
working owners were the Turner family, who also owned a shop in the High Street. Photos show the shop front
advertising "Miller and Baker, Dealer in Corn, Chaff, Malt and Hops. Ilims smoked and dried".
What are "
ilims" - noone yet seems to know. If you know what they are, please let me know.
