Bread tins

First off, Cabbagetree had identified the subject in Tuesdays blip, I can now confirm with Cabbagetrees help it is a Lotus flower seed pod! Sadly it is an artificial one :¬(
The above is a small number, of dozens of bread tins we uncovered today while removing a turn of the century extention to the Mill building. Under a second floor layer, a further set of footings became evident. In one of these was a void filled with the bread tins and the oven doors. So at some time there was a bakery attached to the Mill. The tins bear the name "Burnville Ltd", I have tried to trace this but to no real avail, the name is connected to the Sunderland area.
Living history... abit like me really ;¬}
