Geocache Description:

Another in Mole's SOS series
This is a MAGNETIC cache

I have put together a series of caches and the theme of these are ‘Series’ – each cache is, in their own right, part of a group of caches around the country following a theme linked to a landmark or object, such as churches, ponds and in this case Mills.
Each ‘series’ was devised by an individual cacher who either retained the series and developed it on their own such as the ponds, dewponds and lakes series by martletsman or encouraged other cachers to add to the series with the request to advise the originator of a new addition in order to keep tabs of the increasing number and save duplication – such as the church micro series, which is managed by sadexploration. There are some series of caches which do not get referred to by a rolling number allocated by the originator (like church micro #176), instead these others are referred to by their location – such as the motorway mayhem series where the motorway and the junction distinguish it from any other. My little series will draw on many of these – each being part of the series referred to but part of this series – Mole’s SOS (Series Of Series)

On to this one
A Mill Micro series was developed by Flatcoat Walker who has hidden nearly 50 caches in that series. It was not one for expanding by others but this cache is to honour that series.

Mill Micro - Tonbridge Mill
An old corn mill site. The mill house survives along with a few walls of the mill, which had a breastshot waterwheel. The Civic Society's annual design award in 2006 was made for the restoration of Tonbridge Mill. Only the footings and some bare ruins existed when Jon Griffin took on the task of rebuilding the mill and restored to Tonbridge a piece of its history. The mill wheel has been retained; the stream flows under house to the mill pond at the rear of the building. This can be viewed from Cannon Lane.
Certificates were presented to Tony Hicks Associates for the timber structure and design, and to Andrew Boakes Associates as the project architects
The cache is hidden very nearby - please hide exactly as found - it is a magnetic double potted micro, please ensure it is placed back in exactly the same place
