"Mill tribute for Albert"

Picture in the 'Evening Argus' of the funeral procession for Albert Ovenden, son of the former miller Ephraim Ovenden of Parkcroft, Polegate, which stopped in front of the mill whose sweeps were set in a St. George's Cross.

"There's an old mill down at Polegate"

Piece in the 'Eastbourne & District Advertiser' about the imminent return to productive work of Polegate Windmill, bringing pleasure to Mrs Bertha Terry who is Albert Ovenden's daughter and still lives nearby.

"Windmill may become a home"

Cutting from the 'Eastbourne Herald Chronicle' about the interest in buying his windmill that Mr Ovenden has received since the press reported his thoughts about selling the windmill in Park Croft, Polegate. Especially as one would-be buyer is a former local resident.
