Where My Father Worked

A Memory of Cranbrook.

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!

I remember as a young lad, in the 1940's collecting acorns in Swifts Park and when we had a large sack full we would take them to the mill and be paid 2s 6d. It took a long time to fill a sack.
The grocery shop next to the mill was "Allens"
My Aunt who lived in Waterloo Road always. Swore she could tell the weather by the position of the sails on the mill.
