More mills

[edit]

I know these two windmills existed, but I don't have references for them at the moment. As far as I recall both were mentioned in Bygone Kent at some point. A photograph of the Lamberhurst mill is known to exist. If anyone can supply a reference please add these to the article. Mjroots (talk) 15:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scope for expansion

[edit]

Coles Finch used the 1596 map as his start point. References to windmills earlier than this are very sparse in the list. Verifiable additions are welcome. Mjroots (talk) 09:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chinnor mill

[edit]

A mill was moved from Chatham, Kent to Chinnor, Oxfordshire according to Rex Wailes (The English Windmill p169). There are two Chatham mills which the type is not known. Chinnor was a post mill, but which of the two was it? Mjroots (talk) 16:57, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ordnance Survey maps

[edit]

I've removed all Ordnance Survey map references from the list. This is because when Coles Finch listed a mill as on the 1819-43 Ordnance Survey map, he meant it was on an Ordnance Survey map published sometime between 1819 and 1843. I thought he meant it was on a map published in 1819, and revised in 1843. Discussion about this has taken place at the Mills archive. If a mill is marked on an Ordnance Survey map for which the publishing date is known, then that date can be added to the maps column. Mjroots (talk) 19:45, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've been through Coles Finch and updated first/last known dates where possible. If a mill is stated to have been marked on the 1819-43 map, the first date is used if that is the latest reference, the last date is used if that is the earliest reference.

Photographs

[edit]

Many of the 'photographs' are actually paintings. Perhaps the column heading should be changed to 'pictures' or something similar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.2.82 (talk) 07:38, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It should be "Images", unless there are any videos, in which case "Media". -- Quiddity (talk) 18:41, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
