The Water Mill at Wilsons & Co (Sharrow) Ltd in Sheffield was used to power two floors of pestle & mortars where tobacco leaves were ground down to create snuff.
The company has been in existence since 1737 and today manufactures snuff that is distributed and sold around the globe.

  • A "blast from the past". Living nearby in the 1940s we played in the field opposite Wilson's Snuff Mill.

    Another Wilson, Terence.

  • is there also taken the powder which falled "over" the mill, ore ohly which stayed in?

    The risk of an explosion is very hight, i think. (whole air is full of burnable powder)
