BILLERICAY WINDMILL, Essex. Today Billericay is on the outskirts of Greater London, but at the turn of the century, when this picture was probably taken, the area was still rural. The windmill is a post-type mill and has long since gone, while modes of transport have also changed greatly. From Herbert Edward Sidney Simmons photography collection

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Billericay Windmill stands proudly against the backdrop of the Essex countryside, a testament to the rural past of this once agricultural community. Taken at the turn of the century, the scene captures a moment in time before the area began its transformation into a suburban part of Greater London. The windmill, a post-type mill, is the focal point of the image. Its tall, conical shape with sails outstretched reaches towards the sky, a symbol of the area's reliance on the wind for milling grain. The mill, which has long since been demolished, would have been a familiar sight to the local people going about their daily lives. The photograph also captures the simple pleasures of rural life. A horse-drawn cart is visible in the foreground, its occupants likely on their way to the market or to deliver goods to the nearby village. The people in the photograph, dressed in clothing typical of the era, add a sense of authenticity to the scene. The mode of transport has changed greatly since this photograph was taken. Horses have been replaced by cars, buses, and trains. The windmill, too, is no longer in operation, a casualty of progress and modernization. Yet, this photograph serves as a reminder of the area's rich history and the simple pleasures of rural life that once defined Billericay. This photograph is part of the Herbert Edward Sidney Simmons collection, which documents the changing landscape of Essex and its people. The collection, now held by Historic England, provides a valuable record of the past and a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
