This print captures a moment in time at the historic East Hill Mill in Ashford, Kent. The focus of the image is S O Garnham, an employee of Pledge & Son Ltd, the renowned milling company that owned this water-powered flour mill. Standing proudly beside one of the company's Bedford trucks, Garnham exudes a sense of dedication and expertise. The backdrop showcases the impressive architecture of the mill building, with its intricate cogs and gears hinting at the complex machinery inside. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from between the wars, transporting us back to the 1930s.
