CHILLENDEN WINDMILL, CHILLENDEN, GOODNESTONE, DOVER, KENT. A view of Chillenden Windmill, showing the post mill intact, photographed in April 1929. This open-trestle post mill was built in 1868 and was still in good condition when the photograph was taken, with a new midling and two new sails having been fitted in 1927.

Capturing the Timeless Beauty of Chillenden Windmill in 1929
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to April 1929, offering a glimpse into the serene landscape of Chillenden Windmill. Standing proudly amidst the picturesque countryside of Goodnestone, Dover, Kent, this post mill exudes an air of tranquility and history. Built in 1868, this open-trestle post mill showcases remarkable craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. In pristine condition when Francis Matthew Shea captured it on film, its sturdy structure remained intact with recent additions including a new midling and two sails installed in 1927. Once a vital hub for milling corn during Victorian times, Chillenden Windmill ceased operations in 1949 as modern technology took over. However, thanks to dedicated restoration efforts in 1958, this magnificent landmark was brought back to life. The photograph allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also the significance of preserving our heritage. It serves as a reminder that even though progress may change our landscapes and industries over time, there is immense value in cherishing these historical treasures. As we gaze upon this image today, let us be transported to an era where windmills were not just functional structures but symbols of ingenuity and hard work. May it inspire us to protect and honor our past while embracing progress for future generations.
