Lewis and Peggy Jones present a comprehensive survey of individual mills, their owners, locations, and operational histories, drawing on archival records, photographs, and primary sources to construct an authoritative account of a largely overlooked sector of Australian heritage. The tone is scholarly yet accessible, making it an invaluable reference for historians, genealogists, and enthusiasts of industrial archaeology alike. The work illustrates how the flour milling industry mirrored broader shifts in Victorian society — from the gold rush era through to federation and into the modern age — capturing the ingenuity and enterprise of the communities that built and sustained these vital enterprises.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826034847963,"sku":"2026200006249-SECONDHAND","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1389f12e-8291-426c-aced-07d175ee4082.png?v=1780311323","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006249-secondhand-the-flour-mills-of-victoria-1840-1990-an-historical-record","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
