Upper Canada Village in Morrisburg, Ontario — Central Canada (North America)
Bellamy's Grist Mill
⎯⎯⎯
Minoterie à vapeur Bellamy
This stone mill was built in 1821 by the Bellamy brothers, in North Augusta, Grenville County. In 1863, its interior was completely destroyed by fire. The mill was quickly brought back into operation with two additional run of millstones and a new steam engine. In the early 1980s, the mill was dismantled and rebuilt at Upper Canada Village, 57 kilometers southeast from its original location. The nearby driveshed and adjacent building now used as a Cooperage are more recent constructions based on photographic evidence. Today, Bellamy's mill represents an 1860s custom mill using both steam and water power to grind wheat into flour.
Ce moulin en pierre a été bati en 1821 par les frères Bellamy, a North Augusta, comté de Grenville. En 1863, son intérieur a été complètement détruit par un incendie. Le moulin a rapidement été remis en exploitation avec deux paires de meules supplémen taires et une nouvelle machine à vapeur. Au début des années 1980, le moulin a été démantelé et rebati à Upper Canada Village, à 57 kilomètres au sud-ouest de son emplacement originel. La remise à voitures et l'édifice adjacent, qui est maintenant utilisé comme tonnellerie, sont de construction plus récente basée sur de l'évidence photographique. Aujourd'hui, la minoterie à vapeur Bellamy représente une mino terie à broyage à forfait utilisant la vapeur ainsi que l'énergie hydraulique pour moudre du blé en farine.
