It is fully updated with 8 extra pages of full colour photographs. Bishopstone, once a port and a centre of political power, today gives little evidence of its past importance. Tide Mills even less. Yet it was once a village with a population of around 100, most of them working in one of the country’s busiest corn mills. It had its own railway station and between the wars, a marine hospital for disabled children. The author, David Lyndhurst has lived in Bishopstone many years. S. B. Publications |
