View from upstream showing mill pond, Dean's Mill, Canterbury

View from upstream showing mill pond, Dean's Mill, Canterbury

Part of an old stereocard. Photo shows a mill in Canterbury which was variously known as Dean's, Hooker's or Shafford's Mill. It was considerably modified after this picture was taken, and continued working until it was burnt down in 1954. Latterly turbine-driven, It was a powerful mill, formerly having two waterwheels and 8 pairs of stones. A new building now occupies the site. I would expect the photograph to date from about the 1860s (Notes from Alan Stoyel, 2007)

Note on the reverse reads, "Dennis Salt Works about 1865 (?) These very crude little windmills raised the salt water up to the evaporating basins. The crank is wood. This is written in black ink which at once turns this color due to some chemical residue left in photostat".
