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
Been nice knowing you :)

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

ok paul, can just about make out the armbands now.
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.
Colin, you continue to amaze! This forum has been gievn some new life since you joined!!

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.
