The sixty seventh item is a photocopy of an eighteenth century engraving of the King's Mills in Guildford. The date of the production of this photocopy is not recorded. We are informed that the actual physical engraving is preserved at the British Museum. At the bottom right hand corner of the back of the photograph a printed message reads "Copyright E. M. Gardner, Borden Village,Liphook, Hants (Hampshire)." Interestingly, "Please return to" has been added in black ink while the word "Copyright" has been neatly crossed out. We can make the deduction from this information that at some point in time Gardner allowed an individual to borrow this print; the copyright of which belonged to her.
This Sub - Series is comprised of 88 photographs of a wide range of watermills located across the length and breadth of England and Wales. The photographs have been arranged into the alphabetical order of the respective name of the county in which they are located.
The twenty eighth image is a photocopy of an illustration of a watermill which is simply identified as being "A Watermill near Hemel Hempstead. Hartfordshire (Hertfordshire)." However, it is most likely that this is Piccott's End Mill. There is no date of production recorded.

Paul Sandby. Showing Mill 17." Paul Sandby (1731 - 1809) was a British landscape painter who was one of the founding members of the Royal Academy in 1768. It appears that Sandby undertook and produced this watercolour painting during the course of the year 1778.
