EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Guston Mill, also known as Swingate Mill, in all its glory. Taken in July 1929 by Francis Matthew Shea, this image showcases the tower mill standing tall against a picturesque backdrop in Guston, Dover, Kent. Built in 1849 for John Mummery, this Victorian-era windmill served as a corn mill and remained under the ownership of the Mummery family for an impressive 73 years. Its sturdy structure and intricate design are beautifully preserved in this photograph. However, history took its toll on Guston Mill during World War Two when it suffered damage from enemy fire. Despite these scars of war, the resilient tower mill still stands proudly today. In later years, it was thoughtfully converted into a house while retaining its original charm and character. The black-and-white composition of this print adds to its timeless appeal and transports viewers back to a bygone era. The attention to detail captured by Shea highlights not only the architectural beauty of Guston Mill but also serves as a reminder of our rich industrial heritage. Whether you appreciate historical landmarks or have an affinity for windmills, this evocative print is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you back to simpler times when towering structures like Guston Mill played an integral role in our society's development.
