[TQ 92156629] A.S. site - "40 acres field", Milton-next-Sittingbourne. Material in Museum. From Humphrey Wood to Arnold Collection. MB.1956. [Approximate siting only] (1) "Mr.G.Arnold was Mayor of Gravesend, living about the turn of the century, so this is quite an old site. The initials [M.B.] refer to Miss Blumstein, formerly assistant curator at the Maidstone Museum, but now at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. I do not know of the site nor of anything in our possession from it. Possibly Gravesend Museum is referred to." (2) The siting by Authority 1 lies within an area occupied by long- disused sewage beds, the property of Kemsley Mill (Bowater & Lloyds). Mr.Ray, Group Assistant Director of the Mill, knows nothing of the site. Miss Blumstein is now in Israel (3)
