Cider-Making in Devonshire - Laying the Fruit, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Cider-Making in Devonshire - Laying the Fruit, 1850. Interior of...the pound-house, a building which contains the pound, the cider-press, and an elevated floor on which the apples are laid previously to being pounded, or rather ground, as the present mode more strictly applies. After the apples are gathered from the orchards they are laid on the floor, in which is a hole communicating with a trough or shoot, containing a certain arrangement of rollers, between which the fruit is crushed or ground for the "mock." These rollers are worked by a large wheel driven by horses, and the ground apples are dropped into a trough under the shoot'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
