Title: Langstone Mill, about 1890 [Go to resource]
Description: Copy of a photograph looking southwards over part of the mill pond. The tower is derelict and the remains of the wooden cap with parts of the workings at the top of the structure can still be seen. The mill was probably constructed in the mid 18th century. Continued working until the end of the 19th century. By the first World War it was being used as a residence. By 1932 it was purchased by Flora Twort, a Hampstead artist, who lived there for many years. Its best known visitor was the author Nevil Shute who stayed there many times during the Second World War.
