This watercolor shows a quiet mill on the River Stour. Rowland Suddaby painted it in 1940. The work captures the old mills that once powered the local economy. Most Stour mills were already out of use by 1940. Suddaby leaves out any signs of modern change. His scene feels unchanged from an earlier time. Check out more work by Rowland Suddaby.
