Report - Cross-in-Hand Post Mill
A report for East Sussex County Council on the Cross-in-Hand Post Mill following an inspection made on 8 February 1979 which describes the present condition of the mill's structure and provides a summary of the work proposed. Detailed costings are provided, amounting to an estimate of £27,350. Nicholls remarks on this being a considerable amount of money, but for a considerable schedule of work. The use of volunteers for some of the work is suggested, Nicholls commenting, "...and although this decreases the Millwrights income, it may help in funding the overall project". He concludes, "We trust, however, that you will proceed to get a programme under way. Cross-in-Hand is an excellent mill, and should be saved".
Nicholls, David, (1938 - 2020) millwright

"Well, what else can you do when a mill gets stuck outside a pub?"
Part of Press Cuttings Collection
Cutting from an unknown source giving a brief history of Worthing Mill, including the name of the last owner, Edward Isted, who owned it until 1870.
This image is undated; however it cannot be later than 1924 as this copy of the postcard bears a postmark of that date.
