Hurrah! They are Back feature Cranbrook’s Union Mill is reunited with its sweeps GREAT EXCITEMENT in June as the Cranbrook windmill was reunited with its huge sweeps after more than a year’s separation. Hurrah! The windmill is able to produce stoneground flour again. Kent County Council owns the landmark which will be painted as soon as possible. Cranbrook Windmill Association volunteers open the mill to the public and operate it to produce flour which is sold. Joy Temple Come and join us! Email volunteering@ unionmill.org. uk or visit www. unionmill.org. uk for more information. At a recent parish council meeting, our county councillor Sean Holden said: “It has taken more than a year for the sweeps to come back. I hope it won’t take that long for KCC to do the muchneeded painting.” He was referring to the fact that one side of the mill is green, possibly due to the long, hot summer. This phenomenon occurred several years ago before the mill was given a fresh coat of paint. FROM THE ARCHIVES IN THE last issue of Parish Cake we asked for help in putting names to faces in a 1924 photo of Cranbrook Town Band. Within a few hours of its delivery we had a call from local resident Mrs Hadaway who has a copy of the same photo with every name. Thank you; the photograph in the museum now means so much more to us. In this issue we follow a similar theme but this time it is a 1928 photograph of the Cranbrook cubs. We know it’s Lesley Bangham in the back row on the right but can you name anyone else? Perhaps spot your father or grandfather? If you can help our email address is cranbrookmuseum@gmail. com or we are there to answer the phone on Wednesday mornings (only) between 9am and 12 noon on 01580 712929. As for the Town Band, here are the names! Many of you will be familiar with the surnames. Back row, left to right; H.W.Hills, C.Honess, G.Leeves, H.G.Hatcher, H.Hatcher, J.C.Parker, H.S.Cayzer. Middle row, left to right; A.E.Bangham,A Bangham, A.W.Hatcher, L.C.Piper, J.Elvin, H.W.Hinkley, C.V.Norris.
