Elm View Mill, no longer working as a corn mill. The old gentleman standing outside may well be William Sage.

At this point, around the 1890s, the mill had been decommissioned and turned into a pumping station to pump water from a deep well in the aquifer to an underground reservoir on the hill above the mill. The wedge shaped structure to the right of  the mill in front of the picket fence housed powerful ram-pumps  that were  used for this purpose, thus providing Westerham with fresh drinking water from 1882, when the Westerham Water Works Company had been founded. On the 1891 census,  William Sage, who had previously been recorded as the miller at Elm View Mill, was described as ‘manager at water mill’.
