Cranbrook

[poliphilo]

In times past quaint, little Cranbrook was an industrial centre. When Elizabeth I visited the town she processed along a carpet a mile long that had been made for the occasion by local weavers. The mill on the hill is early 19th century- and still in working order.

The windmill is very unusual. The houses, however, are typical of this part of Southern England. The cladding of a house in tightly fitting, overlapping planks is known as "weather-boarding".
