Includes introduction not present in first draft. This is a complete version of the partial text given as Appendix I in the 2007 printed volume. Part three (Thames tributaries south of the Chilterns) is loose in the front of the ring binder along with correspondence from H E S Simmons, R S Rothwell, Buckinghamshire County Museum (1967, re. deposit of manuscript) and Lorna Cassidy, as well as notes and sketches.
Freese, Stanley (1902-1972), town planner and artist
Substantial photographic, technical, and newspaper information on windmills in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. The material appears have been collated by P J H Baker and then passed to Rex Wailes. Photographs were taken by several people, including Rex Wailes, Sid Simmons, and Richard Neville.
This image is undated; however it cannot be later than 1933 as this copy of the postcard bears a postmark of that date.

Went over v interesting mill (motor-driven now) at Upton Pk Chester, and sketched several in the Wirral and north of Liverpool. Have found a derelict mill near here.
