Before sugar was "granulated" (made into grains) it was poured into large cone-shaped moulds up to 1 metre high and left to set. These metal sugar cutters, which have sharp blades, were needed to break it down into lumps for use in the kitchen. |
Roll over this photo to switch between the sugar cutters in the museum's collection and an advertisement for a grocery shop in Cullompton which would have sold sugar. |
