EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of Shepherds Mill, located in Upwell, Cambridgeshire. The mill stands tall and proud, its brick tower reaching for the sky. Built in 1829, this historic structure once stood at an impressive five storeys high with a distinctive ogee cap. Taken in August 1935 by Herbert Edward Sidney Simmons, the image showcases not only the architectural splendor of Shepherds Mill but also provides a glimpse into daily life during that era. In the foreground, we see a miller skillfully maneuvering a horse and cart through the surrounding countryside. This scene evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when traditional methods were relied upon to transport goods. Since this photograph was taken, Shepherds Mill has undergone a transformation from its original purpose as a working mill to becoming an elegant restaurant and hotel. However, it still retains its charm and historical significance. Through H Es Simmons' lens, we are transported back to an era where windmills played an integral role in rural communities like Upwell. This print serves as both a testament to our industrial heritage and as a reminder of how these structures have adapted over time while preserving their unique character.
