The Travelling Cidermaker

By the late nineteenth century travelling cidermakers had become familiar figures in the apple-growing ar eas of England and Wales. Every autumn and winter they traversed the countryside from farm to farm, making the cider which was the staple drink of the agricultural population. Itinerant cidermakers were particularly important in those peripheral areas of cider production such as Wales, where a relatively small quantity of cider was made, and few farmers could justify the expense of building a stone mill or purchasing their own mechanical mills
