When Watermills and Windmills was first published in 1933, most Kentish mills were already in a state of decline, and since them even more have disappeared. Int he early part of the 20th century, William Coles Finch spent many years wandering around the Kentish countryside, accumulating information, interviewing old miller folk and gather together a unique collection of prints and photographs. The Kentish mills were a thing of beauty, as well as functional, dotted over the landscape – this is Finch’s unique record of them before the decline that came later.
