1966 70

A Memory of Sindlesham.

I used to keep my ponies in a field opposite the Mill which was still working in a small way. I remember the dreadful flooding of 1968. We had to walk down Mill Lane to get to check the ponies. It was waist deep in water and when we got to the field the ponies were stuck on the tow path as the field was deep in water. The back of the mill was flats at the time and the lads there offered us a place for the night as it was too late to try to get the ponies over the rickety weir bridge in the dark. We got out the next day and rode them through the flood water to some stables in Hurst. Apart from the floods we had some amazing summers there
