Premises of Eling Sailing Club Adjoining Eling Tide Mill. There was once a balcony on the front of the sailing club and I have photographs of family members standing on it during a wedding reception in the 1960s, but it was removed some years ago, presumably on safety grounds. Viewed from Downs Park Crescent.

Eling Mill The building was probably associated with Eling Tide Mill, which stands just across Eling Lane. It is now mostly converted to apartments, but also houses the Eling Heritage Centre on the ground floor. After WWII, Allis Chalmers, a US agricultural equipment company, used the building for tractor assembly and as a lad, I recall seeing convoys of tractors leaving the building for onward transportation, possibly from Eling Wharf. I believe that tractor assembly here ceased in the early 1960s
