Hampshire Mills Group is delighted to announce the
publication of its new book -
The Mills and Millers of Hampshire
This first volume covers the central area,
including mills on the Rivers Itchen, Hamble and
Meon, as well as tide and spring fed mills.
The
concept for this book is to make available in a
convenient and easily accessed way some of the mass
of historical data held in our records, and to put
it into context with what is there now. Also to do
this in a way that is attractive to all readers,
whether you have an interest in the landscape and
industrial heritage of the county, are a mill expert
or are really focussed on tracing family history.
The
Archivist of the Hampshire Mills Group (HMG) Tony
Yoward, and his late wife Mary, researched and
collected information about the mills and the
millers for many years. Their work has been
supplemented by contributions from other members of
the HMG, and in earlier times the Southampton
University Industrial Archaeology Group.
