Gypsum excavations at Mountfield, by Don Cox, published 1996 in Sussex Industrial History (issue no. 26, article, pp.26-31, ISSN: 0263-5151) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/506527] Download PDF
Abstract:Whilst there have been several mentions of the overhead cable railway at Mountfield in our newsletters I have noticed the absence of any information on the product that it carried. Thus I was pleased that when I was recently given a book on the History of BPB Industries I found it contained some information on the gypsum works at Mountfield. The following is based on information taken mostly from that book.
Medieval Water Mills, by Don Cox, published 1996 in Sussex Industrial History (issue no. 26, article, pp.38-39, ISSN: 0263-5151) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/506527] Download PDF
Abstract:For many years I had thought that there must be information on water mills in the many manorial records in the record offices. I have extracted references to mills from the Sussex section of the Domesday Book translated by John Morris and published by Phillimore in 1976 which shows that there were many mills in Sussex in 1086.
