Uncle George and Hemingbrough Post Mill

           

 These pictures from a  Chilvers family Album show uncle George Tindall in 'Hospital Blues' during the 1st World War. Uncle George who suffered for Shell Shock was a thrashing contractor who had a 'Burrell' Traction Engine. In 1934 Mr George Smith who owned the Post Mill on Mill Lane Hemingbrough, asked Uncle George to pull down the mill because it was unused and unsafe, which he did with the help of cousin John of Osgodby with his engine.
The lower picture shows the old mill with Miss Rebecca Smith on the mill steps shortly before the mill was pulled down.
