25 October 2006 - A visit to the Mill House Cider Museum at Owermoigne, Near Dorchester.

A very wet and dismal day. On arrival we were given a very warming cup of mulled cider!

Barley Straw which was being used in the process for the first time as an alternative to the cloths previously used in the press.

The press partly loaded with apples from crusher. This batch used a cloth to contain the pulp.

These pressings were done using the Barley Straw

The press in use today. One of many on the site.

The machine used to crush the apples before going into the press.

The start of the crushing process.
