Wallace Flour Mills

We are located at 9 Wallace Street. It’s a quiet enough spot compared to the main roads, but we stay busy with the work at hand. Most days start early, before the sun is even fully up, because that is when the air is still cool. The machinery we use is old but it gets the job done as long as we keep it oiled. You can hear the hum of the motors from the street when we are in the middle of a big batch. It is dusty work. We spend a lot of time sweeping up, but by the next hour, there is a thin layer of white everywhere again. People bring in wheat or bajra and wait while we process it. Some just leave their bags and come back later after they finish their other chores. We don't really have a front office or anything like that. It is just the grinding area and some space to store the sacks. Sometimes the rain makes things difficult because of the humidity, but we manage. We’ve seen the street change quite a bit over the years. Buildings go up and shops change hands, but we are still here doing the same thing. It is honest work, even if it is tiring on the back and shoulders. We just focus on the machines and making sure everything runs for the people who rely on us for their daily needs.
