WEST BLATCHINGTON MILL

An interesting photograph, taken on 17 December 1955. It provides a good comparison with others in my collection which date from 20 or 30 years earlier. On the left, the remains of the old farmhouse, then in course of demolition, to be replaced later by the present flats. Beneath the tree can be seen Hove County School for Boys , built in the late 1930s. We are indebted to Hove council for their prompt action in stepping in to buy the Mill in 1937, thus ensuring its preservation.
