Note entitled, 'per E.L.B.' regarding Coulsdon Common Mill as follows: 'Belonged to a man named Brigden who had a post-mill at Sydenham & a smock (hand winded) at Ewell, Surrey. The mill had two [common] sails & two springs or patents, can't say which. As a lad Brigden's man told me that his boss christened her, which might date the mill to the 50's or early 60's. Went over when a lad about 1884, when I think she had only just finished work'.
With Kent-type cap, derelict fan and stocks. Open-framed and standing on tall wooden pylon which lower down encloses boarded wooden structure. Site appears to be wood or private garden. Caption appears to date photo to 1989 but this doubtful. Same mill as 1111800.
