Bembridge Mill was built c. 1700. It was painted by Turner in 1795. The mill was working by wind until 1913, having only been used for grinding animal feed after 1897.[1] The mill was restored in 1935 and again in 1959, the latter restoration being funded by public subscription.[2] In 1962 the mill was taken over by the National Trust. It has been restored and is open to the public.
Businessman Mike Robertson founded his business empire at Trago Mills in Cornwall's Glynn Valley in the 1960s.
Trying to build a business of this sort was not easy in an extremely beautiful valley like this. Inevitably Robertson faced opposition from what he called 'Crats' and politicians.
His reaction was to commission 'statues' of well-known figures and give them the features of those Crats and politicians.
The statues of the Crats are still there but Robertson himself has died, to be succeeded by his sons. Still not short on controversy or right-wing views, the stores are always busy whenever I've visited them.
I get the strong impression that like Canute, the Crats have never really had their own way at Trago and Mike Robertson does indeed have the last laugh.
Pillage and Plunder are two Norse warriors who represent the British Trade Unions and the Crats.
I went to Newport, RI last weekend (my first trip to RI), and stayed in the Mill Street Inn. It was great - in an old mill, within walking distance of the water, shopping, eating, and also the Old Stone Tower. Since it was January, the off-season rates were in effect - even though it was sunny and 65+ degrees the entire weekend.
