Pleasant engraving especially the tiny image showing the windmills in the far distance of the East Hill
-
St Clement's Church is on the far right, so the mills behind must be on the West Hill. In 1855 they were much closer together. If the image were 1820s the one above the church would be French's Mill, the other one of the 2 Carswell mills, the other perhaps hidden by the hill in the foreground (or omitted by the engraver)
-
There could be some artistic licence here given the position of St Mary IC ,the castle and the windmills seemingly far distant. It has occured to me that I am not sure that the East Hill had windmills
-
There probably has been a windmill on the East Hill an early map identifies a Windmill Field.
