The earliest known mills in Brighton are depicted in a coloured drawing of the French attacking the town. The drawing is dated 1545, but probably based on the events of 1514 when the invaders landed and burnt down every dwelling.
This publication covers the early windmills, windmills near the sea, windmills near Dyke Road, east Brighton mills, north Brighton mills and the steam flour mills.

From early beginnings in the 1930s Frank Gregory explored the more local mills on his push bike, making sketches and completing them at home. At weekends the Gregory family visited the more distant highways and byways of Sussex by car and young Frank always took along sketching equipment.

During the period of Frank's watermill survey, many were still turning and earning an honest living, but those mills that had become idle were being allowed to decay. Frank kept records of the state of each mill and helped wherever possible by encouraging and involving himself in restoration work. He was a regular visitor to many mills while they were still working, and knew the millers personally.
Frank was a recognised authority not only on Sussex but at national and international levels.
This presentation is a tribute to Frank, who was dedicated to the well being of Sussex mills for more than 60 years.
