These images were taken at Leard's Grist Mill and Pond yesterday morning by CBC PEI's Steve Bruce. Photos cf. CBC PEI Facebook page.

Three generations of the Leard family operated the including Peter's sons Waldron and Albert and his grandson Warren, who closed it in 2002 after working here for more than 50 years.
