Occupation source: S72Text: The business of making whitening for decorating rooms,shops,dairies and so on, was carried on by one family in stonham aspal_the Berry family. As so often happened, the skill came down from one generation to another. The Berrys had a well-established business by the beginning of the last century; and later it went to one of the daughters who married a Stonham man called George Race. George soon acquired the distinctive name of Whitening-Maker Race; and he and his wife carried on this trade for about fifty years until just before the outbreak of the First World War when ill-health and a lessening demand for the product forced them to give up the business. The chalk for making the whitening was carted from the quarries at Claydon a few miles away. It came in tumbrils, and cost ten shillings a load, delivered to the Races yard. There it was dumped and taken in pails to the cirular crushing-pit. This contained a heavy iron wheel which operated in a way similar to an old cider wheel. The wheel was fixed to a central post or upright spindle by a long wooden axle which projected like a capstan shaft beyond the pit itself. A donkey or a pony harnessed to this shaft walked round, causing the wheel to revolve in the pit, crushing the lumps as it did so. But before the donkey started on its roundabout trek, buckets of water from a nearby pond had been poured on the chalk, so that when he had been pulling the wheel round for some time a thick, cream-like liquid would have formed in the pit. When a donkey or pony was not available the children had to pull the wheel round. They worked in pairs, one of them being harnessed to the shaft and one to push with a short forked stick. When the liquid in the crushing pit had reached the consistency of thick cream they ladled it out and strained it through a very fine wire-mesh sieve into another pit alongside. This was the first of the two straining- pits. These two pits were identical in design and were lined with porous bricks, five courses deep. The bricks were porous so that exess water soon percolated away. They left it until it reached the consistency of cream cheese. Harriet Race, who usually managed the making of the whitening with two or three of her twelve children, now took the raw material out of thispit with a trowel and placed it in the second straining-pit. In spite of sieving there was always an amount of grit at the bottom of the first pit, and she took great care to prevent any of the grit getting into the second-pit. After it had been left there for a while, the raw material would have reached a workalle state. They took it out with trowels and doled it out in equal quantities on plain tiles, they then placed these flat tiles each with its load of whitening, on top of a low wall that ran alongside the pits the wall had been built for drying whitening the length of time it was left on the wall depended on the weather.When they judged that it was ready, they took the material and worked each amount into a ball they referred to them as rolls,the weight of four rolls came to a stone which they sold for 6d. They loaded them on to a donkey cart for delivery around the countyside. About the year 1860 when George Race was courting Harriet Beery he went with his future mother-in-law to the seasidetown of Aldeburgh to sell a load of whitening. It was too long a journey to do in one day with a donkey and a loaded cart, so they slept one night by the roadside. They sold the whitening to a shopkeeper in Aldeburgh. His customers used it for whitening daires, ceilings, bedrooms and living-rooms. George Race lived until the twenties and although he spent all his life at Stonham Aspal not much more than twenty miles from the East Coast, his Aldeburgh trip was the only occasion when he saw the sea.
