Mobile Sawmill construction — Ballogie Estat
This Aberdeen Journals Photograph is courtesy of Aberdeen Journals and Forestry Commission, Moray and Aberdeenshire Forest District who hold the image.
Men hard at work as they unload parts of a mobile sawmill and carry them to the actual site set back a little way from the B993 minor public road looking towards Potarch Bridge. These look like parts of one of the benches with some parts already unloaded on the bank and again more on the lorry.
Again this is almost certainly the James Jones mill that was sited at Potarch Bridge and several photographs elsewhere on this site show it in several stages of construction (Picture Nos 788 and 789).
Can anyone name any of the men?
