Description: | Copy of a an Engraving held by Hampshire Record Office. Entitled Mill near Havant, Langston Harbour, Hants. By E. Duncan. Jan 16th 1969. It originally appeared in the magazine called "Once a Week". (This version has been reversed, see below for the explanation)
This picture at first did not match with what we knew about the position of the mill and nearby buildings.
We then proved that the original had been engraved and printed the wrong way round. The picture is the reversed version (neg number (144/6/1 REV) and this proved correct because we could then match it all up exactly with photographs that we knew were taken in the 1890's of this mill.
Underneath the picture was this poem;
A mill - dull plodding, energetic, constant,
That by the mobile, multitudinous sea,
Stood fast with outstretched armsÂ…,
Observed routine of duty.
