It is indeed Chegworth Mill. I drove past it on my way to work virtually every day for over 30 years.
The bump in the road where it crossed the stream to the right of this picture led to “Capri drivers stoop” as you tried to avoid your head making painful contact with the intrusive sun roof. If you got the throttle open too early to power up the hill, it would hurt
Back to you JW

JW That building has intrigued me in recent years, unfortunately I can't remember it from the late 60s when I used to go to Bapchild quite frequently.
Anyway here's an old mill by a pond, but which mill?

That’s Bapchild. I very nearly used it myself a while ago.
I presume that you found it looking for my Ospringe post box.

Thanks Diapson. That was a lucky guess but I remembered there being a Laundrey Road in Minster. Great photo of the horse drawn wagon. I hope they managed to dig the horse out ok

Yes! The old Minster Steam Laundry, now long-gone. My Granddad was the engineer there.
Did you spot the horse drawn wagon in the photo?
Here it is on Ramsgate beach in a very sorry state - one of granddad`s photos.
