Description

Cover:

Once a familiar sight in the Manawatu - Miranui, with a plume of smoke from the tall mill chimney.

The name is Maori for "big mill" - "Mira" - mill, "nui" - big.

The "flaxies" called Miranui "the big mill" and rarely used the Maori name. Photograph: Palmerston North Public Library.
