More about this scene
The summer of this year is on record as being suffocatingly hot, and this village, like most in Kent, suffered from a completely rainless June and July. Perhaps the man in the cap (left), riding one heavy horse and leading another, is on his way to stock up on water from the local river?

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!
