EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Dorset, England, stands the historic Bindon Abbey Mill, a striking landmark of Wessex scenery that has captured the imagination of countless visitors and literary figures over the centuries. This evocative image, captured in 1906 by an unidentified photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and transports us back to a time when the rhythmic sounds of the mill wheels echoed through the valley. At the heart of Thomas Hardy's beloved novel "Tess of the d'Urbervilles," Bindon Abbey Mill holds a significant place as the setting for a pivotal moment in the story. Angel Clare, a character deeply entwined in the intricacies of Tess's life, proposes to her here, expressing his desire to learn the art of milling and forge a life together. The mill, with its ancient stones and timber frame, represents a connection to the land and a potential future for the couple. The mill's rich history extends far beyond the pages of Hardy's novel. Dating back to the 13th century, Bindon Abbey Mill has stood the test of time, bearing witness to the passage of generations and the ever-changing landscape of Dorset. Its enduring presence serves as a reminder of the region's rich history and the beauty of the natural world that continues to inspire and captivate visitors today. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the stories and memories that have been woven into the fabric of this remarkable place. As we gaze upon the image, we are transported to a time when the mill's wheels turned in harmony with the gentle flow of the river, and the promise of a new beginning awaited Angel and Tess.
