Yesterday's numbers may have been low, but to those of us that ventured by for the ramble, it was great. I do think that today's bit will be what I'll visit when possible. The tide mills are intriguing. |
I must be bucking the trend, then, as I look forward to your Local History Month every year. |
Still here and still following along with interest! I even click some of the links! |
It's the last bank holiday weekend of the summer, it might be expected that visitor numbers are low : ) I'm still reading though and enjoying the meander through the valley... |
I lived for a few years in London and in the Home Counties, but never saw the House Mill or the Clock Mill. My interest is now especially piqued because of the Huguenot connection. I often lecture on Huguenot life, both in France and, particularly, after they left France. But who knew that in 1728, Three Mills was bought by a Huguenot consortium? And who knew it stayed within those families for a few generations? Many thanks Hels |
As far as I'm aware, the mills on Three Mills Island spent their working life supplying the London Gin industry rather than flour for bread making. |
