Edward John Russell was born in 1888, by 1939 his father John Small Russell was deceased but his mother Mary Emma nee Tyler from High Halden was a widow aged 75, living with His wife Ada nee Butler. They also had a daughter Hazel Russell aged 18 who helped in the house.
My father worked at the mill in approximately 1958. I recall it being repaired by Dutch engineers at that time. Next door was a grocer's shop, but I cannot remember the name. We lived at the time near Goudhurst. What a terrific place for a young person to play!
