About 60 people visited Hockley Mill on the open day, which was as clean and spider free as possible.  Guided tours were given by Ashok Vaidya, Mick Edgeworth, Ivor New, and myself.

Many visitors were with us for over an hour, taking photographs and checking details.  Some were just passing and had their dog with them, but promised to come back in September for Heritage Open Day on Sunday 8th.

We set up a display of leaflets, our three Mills & Millers of Hampshire books, Guy Blythman’s book Windmills of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and  HIAS’ Journals which include articles about mills.  We made no sales but lots of information leaflets were taken and donations of £38.55 were received.
