Hard grain (high protein, and so good for bread making) imported from North America was found to be difficult to mill using millstones, which were worn quickly by the hard grains. A crushing stone still exists on Totley Moor, close to Moss Road, almost certainly used to crush locally mined ganister (fossiled soil found under coal seams) which was used to make bricks that would withstand the

Millstones for grinding grain were used in pairs. The base stone or bedstone remained stationary, while the top stone or runner stone span above, creating a grinding action between the two to turn the grains into flour. The base stone was usually slightly domed or convex and the top stone slightly concave. This, and a complex pattern of grooves cut into the stones, helped the ground flour run
