EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of Bekesbourne Mill in all its glory. Taken in 1929, this image showcases the smock mill standing proudly yet derelict, with its broken sails adding a touch of melancholy to the scene. Located in Bekesbourne, Adisham, Canterbury, Kent, this tarred smock mill was a testament to early 19th-century engineering and craftsmanship. For many years, this majestic windmill served as a vital corn mill for the local community until it ceased operation in the early 1920s. Sadly, by the 1930s it had fallen into disrepair and stood abandoned. Tragically, nature dealt its final blow when a grass fire engulfed and destroyed what remained of this historic structure in August 1933. The photographer Francis Matthew Shea expertly captured both the architectural grandeur and poignant decay of Bekesbourne Mill through his lens. This print serves as an important reminder of our heritage and how time can erode even the most magnificent structures. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a different era - one where windmills dotted our landscapes and played an integral role in sustaining communities. It is through photographs like these that we can appreciate their significance while lamenting their loss.
