I suspect that there are many of us these recent days whose teeth are crushing and grinding at the constant blaring of so called Christmas songs in public places. This Eason image shows a crusher and grinder from Dawson's, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, which could save our teeth and the stress if we each had one to carry around with us!

Dawson’s was thought to be a flour mill before: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/49262960551

However, there is a Joseph Dawson, a general merchant, in the 1911 Census at 2 Main St., which is described in the Building Return Form as a grocery and hardware shop.

There are a couple of other photos of Dawson's that are not yet digitised, including this one which mentions that their motto was "that they sold everything from a needle to an anchor."

Graces guide notes: 1914 Specialities: Chaff Cutters, Grinding Mills, Cattle Food preparing Machines, Petrol and Oil Engines and Engineers' Bright Steel Nuts, Bolts etc. Could be a start date?

May be of a type described as a "hammer mill". I think it's too small for use in a flour mill. More likely used for grinding animal foodstuffs, i.e. various grains. Would suit a large country hardware/general merchants, such as Dawsons

That's a hard one to date, may require the digitisation of the the associated shop front photos to provide more clues. Is this the same Dawson's? www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/11803... Google Earth Link earth.app.goo.gl/UyRFpM #googleearth

Looks like a small mill for cracking wheat and barley in prep for brewing. It appears the grains were let down the chute from above.
