To Tom:
I know this isn't exactly sugar, but do you know about the flour barrel
in Touchstones Rochdale's collections, circa 1862? You can read all
about it on the Revealing Histories: Remembering Slavery website:
www.revealinghistories.org.uk
Best wishes
Jim Garretts, Keeper, the People's History Museum.
