EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Daren Bread Mill, Dartford, Early 1900s 2. Description: This photograph print, hailing from the early 1900s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Dartford, Kent, through the image of the picturesque Daren Bread Mill. Situated along the River Darent, the mill was once an integral part of the local community, contributing to the town's rich industrial heritage. 3. Background: The Daren Bread Mill, located in Dartford, was owned and operated by Burroughs Wellcome & Co., a renowned pharmaceutical company that had its roots in the area. Although the company is known for its significant contributions to the medical world, this image highlights its lesser-known involvement in the milling industry. 4. Scene: The photograph captures the idyllic setting of the mill, with the River Darent flowing gently beneath it. The mill's red-brick exterior, adorned with ivy, stands proudly against the backdrop of the lush, green landscape. The mill's tall, chimney stack reaches towards the sky, symbolizing the industrious spirit of the era. 5. Process: The image is part of the Boswell Collection, Box 129, from Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a lantern slide, which was used for projection during lectures or presentations. The intricate details of the mill, captured in this photograph, would have been brought to life for audiences through the magic of light and shadow. 6. Legacy: Today, the Daren Bread Mill stands as a testament to the past, a reminder of the diverse industries that shaped Dartford and its surrounding areas. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the history and beauty of a bygone era.
