A return to old haunts, the offices of @SPAB1877 in Spitalfields. More years ago than I care to remember, I worked here as the administrator of the wind and watermill section.

In 1975 I sketched Gransden Post Mill in the historic county of Huntingdonshire (top left). Unlisted then, but now Grade 2*. Didn't know much about vernacular buildings then. Good to see 26 pages on post mills in the latest VAG journal, including the Gransden mill. VAG

It's not every day that we get to speak to someone who ran one of our mills. When Ivan Daines offered to tell us about his family's association with Billingford Mill we jumped at the opportunity. Ivan was born in Billingford in 1924! youtu.be/jqXK843kK14
