A Historic Sawmill

In 2005 I went on a class photography “shoot” with David Lewis to a rural area near New Liskeard. On a farm with old buildings and abandoned farm machinery we found a small working sawmill of the type that would have been very common one hundred years ago. The owner said this mill had once been mounted on a flatbed rail car and used to cut ties as railway construction moved forward. These images show the mill and its product.
