'F. Thomas Mill Farm House - Farm - Old Raspberry Park Iwade Sittingbourne'. A slightly odd message, but what has latterly been mapped as 'Mill House' lies above the retaining wall. There is an interesting story about Thomas, who indeed lived in Mill House. In the late 1950s he applied for planning permission for a house on a site off Twydall Lane, Gillingham, and was refused. He used this wall to post his views about this while he fought the matter. He still lost, so he built a barn on the site, which did not need planning permission, that looked exactly like a house, but wasn't. This is now gone, the site has a Mormon church. I wonder if there is any record of what he wrote on this wall?
