Picture No 10012574
Date 1849
Description Sugar Mill, Jamaica 1849
Details

Sugar cane is fed into grooved iron rollers that crush the cane, producing cane juice. The juice runs down the grooves into a cistern, from where it travels via a pipe to the boiling-house. The waste material produced, known as megass, is collected and dried, ultimately to be used as fuel for the furnaces of the boiling-house and still.
