What amazes me is how popular black and white clothes were back in those days. A splash of colour would be nice!

Unrelated to the mill but this is a scan of part of an image of the Western Heights. Amazing crisp details

Someone there may know someone at the mill Paul. Down at that exhibition, a former mate of mine has a WW1 photograph of a mill relation in military service in India. Great picture Paul.

Unsure as there is nothing on the photo, but discussing with people they have black armbands so likely to be a Monarchs death so guessing at 1901

Hey Scotchie, close examination of that picture leads me to think it is a fake. Their heads are pointing in the wrong dirction for starters and look very false on the bodies.

I`ve spent much of the day down the paper mill exhibition, and it`s been an eye opener to listen to the views of Dover people being filmed. The past couple of days, much of the conversation I`ve listened to has focused around the wind down of the mill over the years, leading to it`s eventual closure, the effect on the social aspect and the current state of Dover. Sadly, the interviews contained much doom and gloom, and it was as if I was listening to some member`s of the forum talking. Anyway, you can hear it all when the new film is released in February next year, and hopefully, we`ll all be here to comment on it. This whole project has been run by the Dover Arts Development, one of the partner`s being the very lovely, Joanna Jones, who I had the pleasure of meeting each day. She has a great team behind her, and I must mention the lovely young German girl Mariana, (sure I`ve spelt it wrong), with her inexhaustible enthusiasm with it all. A `real` personality.
