Description: | This sieve machine was used to process botanical materials for the preparation of medicines, food flavouring and spices. The drug grinders Brome and Schimer used the machine at its premises in Colworth Grove. The company was founded in 1922 and acquired the premises from John Wyle Ltd, Grinder to the Drug Trade, in 1971. Brome and Schimer's workshop closed in 1978 when the firm moved to Hampshire to trade as importers and exporters of dried herbs and other goods. The machine represents a traditional London industry directly associated with the import of herbs and spices into the docks. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work | Temporal: | 1920-1945 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
