EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of Bekesbourne Mill in all its derelict glory. Taken in 1929 by Francis Matthew Shea, this image transports us back to a time when this once majestic smock mill stood tall against the picturesque backdrop of Bekesbourne, Adisham, Canterbury, Kent. The worn-out sails and dilapidated structure tell a story of a bygone era. Built in the early 19th century, this tarred smock mill served as an integral part of the community for over a century. It tirelessly ground corn until its closure in the early 1920s. Sadly, neglect took its toll on Bekesbourne Mill as it fell into disrepair during the following decade. By the 1930s, it stood abandoned and forgotten amidst nature's reclamation efforts. Tragically, fate dealt one final blow when a grass fire engulfed what remained of this historic windmill in August 1933. Yet even through decay and destruction, there is an undeniable charm that emanates from this Georgian-era landmark. Its weathered exterior tells tales of hard work and resilience while standing as a testament to our industrial heritage. Thanks to Historic England's preservation efforts and Francis Matthew Shea's keen eye for detail, we can now appreciate both the grandeur and fragility captured within this remarkable photograph print. It serves as a poignant reminder that history should be cherished and protected for future generations to admire.
