History of Ashford

Here's History Kent
The Here’s History web site provides thousands of images and pages of text about the history of Kent. You can search the site for specific places, subjects and areas of personal interest. There is background information on a number of themes and the site provides a starting point to find out more about the towns and villages of Kent. (Contact:info@hereshistory.org.uk)

Willesborough Windmill
The website gives opening times for visits to this wonderful smock mill with Victorian cottage and garden attached - now grinding and selling their own stoneground bread flour made from locally grown wheat - at the moment using the power of a Hornsby 14hp engine but working towards using windpower from new sweeps by the beginning of 2007. Hire the Barn for a party - organise a school visit - or just enjoy tea and cakes in this wonderful setting. (Contact: yym@btinternet.com)

Brook Agricultural Museum
The web site gives information about the Agricultural Museum at Brook, with narrative and pictures describing our comprehensive collection of farm equipment from when the horse was the power round the farm. The larger items such as turnwrest ploughs, seed drills, reapers and wagons are displayed in the superb Grade 1 listed medieval barn and the smaller items, together with hop equipment, are in the largely intact early 19^th century oast house. Pictures of both buildings are shown on the web site. There are further details regarding the museum including its history, current projects and opening hours. (Contact: Brian Winslett)
