EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Ripple Mill, standing proudly on Dover Road in Ripple, Kent. The smock mill is showcased in all its glory, albeit with only two sails remaining, as it was photographed in July 1929 by Francis Matthew Shea. Originally constructed in Drellingore, this Georgian-era corn mill found its new home at this site back in 1807. Despite losing two of its sails by 1927, the resilient structure continued to stand tall until it ceased operations in 1945. Its fate took an unexpected turn when it transformed into a television relay station. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when windmills dotted the countryside landscape. The intricate design of the smock mill is highlighted against the backdrop of lush green fields and clear skies. It serves as a reminder of our rich industrial heritage and how these structures played an integral role in shaping local communities. Francis Matthew Shea's skillful photography transports us back to a time where simplicity reigned supreme and technology had yet to dominate our lives. This print acts as both a historical record and a piece of art that allows us to appreciate the beauty found within architectural marvels like Ripple Mill.
