"National Association of British and Irish Millers: Centenary History, 1878-1978"

This history of the flour milling industry was written by Hugh Barty-King to be published in 1978 to commemorate the centenary of the National Association for British and Irish Mills. Concerns from some members of the Association that parts of the work might prove to be bad publicity for the industry led the Association to veto the publication.

This copy was compiled by Rob Shorland-Ball in 2012, and consists of Barty-King's draft with some additional notes and copies of obituaries and news articles.
