Shalford Mill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shalford Mill is an 18th century watermill located in Shalford, near Guildford, Surrey, England. Since 1932 it has been owned by the National Trust.
The timber-framed building is situated next to the River Tillingbourne and remained in use until 1914. It was restored to its former glory by a group known as 'Ferguson's Gang', in conjunction with the National Trust.
The 15 strong 'Ferguson's Gang' was formed in the 1920s to save the mill from destruction, and met in secret, using such pseudonyms as Sister Agatha, The Nark, Bill Stickers and the Bloody Bishop. In 1935, one of the 'gang' was interviewed by the BBC, and turned up at Broadcasting House wearing a mask.[citation needed]
