Old Mill, Little Betteshanger, Northbourne, Dover, Kent, c1929. A view of Old Mill, showing the smock mill in working condition. A mill is known to have been standing on this site in 1769, near the hamlet of Little Betteshanger. It lost two of its sails in 1925 but the owner Lord Northbourne reconditioned the mill in 1928. At the time of the photograph it was a working mill and was operated by Mr J Court who appears to be standing at the door to the mill. It was later demolished in 1957.
