Description
Plantation sugar works. Locus G was the cattle mill, where the canes were crushed. The mill at Hughes would have been powered by cattle, oxen or horse. After being processed in the mill, raw cane juice would have flowed down hill to Locus H where it would be boiled in a series of coppers. The boiling house (H) at Hughes was divided by four partitions.
