Cake Mill "Cattle Cake Breaker" - Made by Andrew Handyside Ltd of Derby.

Andrew Handyside of Derby didn't just make bridges, fountains and railway station roofs, they also made some rather unusual machinery. 

This item is a Cake Mill or "Cattle Cake Breaker" and was used on farms to break up Oilcake which comes in hard large slabs and needs to be broken up for cattle feed.

I would like to thank Ken Heathcote for getting in touch about this item and for sending me photographs after he had restored it. 

Here are four photographs showing the cake mill in its restored state.

Feel free to link to my blog post about this item.

Thanks

Andy Savage
