cornmill
Maize grinding facility
A cornmill is a mill for grinding corn into meal or flour.
In British usage, corn refers to wheat or other grains, so a cornmill processes whatever grain is locally dominant.
In American usage, it specifically grinds maize: The old cornmill by the creek still has its original millstones.
