EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the picturesque Uphill Mill in Hawkinge, Shepway, Kent. The smock mill stands proudly against a cloudy November sky in 1930, showcasing its Georgian charm. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that two of its sails are missing. Built in 1790 as a corn mill, this historic structure had sadly ceased operation by 1914. Its fate was sealed when it was demolished just months after this photograph was taken in May 1931. Francis Matthew Shea's lens immortalizes the last glimpse of Uphill Mill before it vanished from the landscape forever. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone – a time when windmills dotted the countryside and played an integral role in agricultural life. The smock mill's distinctive design with its octagonal shape and wooden framework is beautifully captured here. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the craftsmanship that went into constructing such an impressive structure over two centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and the importance of preserving these architectural treasures for future generations to appreciate. Francis Matthew Shea's skillful composition transports us back to a simpler time when wind power fueled industry and provided sustenance for communities across England. This print is not just an image; it is a poignant tribute to Uphill Mill's legacy and its place within history.
