Martin Mill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martin Mill, which takes its name from the adjacent village of Martin has a railway station on the Dover to Deal railway line.
The windmill which gives Martin Mill its name was operating commercially until about 1923 when Sydney Hogben, the owner and former operator, took it into his head to saw off the sails by his own hand. This caused outrage in the community and took the mill out of commission forever. The ruins were finally demolished in the 1960s.
Before the war I was the youngest member of a family called English who used to holiday at the mill for a month every year. At the time the milll belonged to a Miss Cole who lived in Canterbury. She was a friend of my father who bought the mill so that we could holiday there. The summers went on for ever and it was an idyllic place for a holiday. Obviously the last year we were there was 1939.
