This image is undated; however it cannot be later than 1907 as this copy of the postcard bears a postmark of that date.

This copy of the postcard bears a 1/2d stamp. The postage rate for postcards rose to 1d in 1918, so the image presumably does not date from later than that year.

Cutting from 'Daily Telegraph' of an article by A. J. McIlroy describing the restoration effort of a group of seven men on Oldland Mill in Keymer. The team had been working on the mill since 1981, and the article mentions that there would be at least ten more years of work ahead of the team. It also provides a brief history of the mill, as well as the plans for it once restoration is completed.
