Subject: Jesmond Mill
From: Conrad Bladey (Peasant- Inactive)

Jesmond Mill

To sing of some nymph in her cot,
Each bard will oft flourish his quill:
I'm glad it has fall'n to my lot,
To celebrate Jesmond Mill.

When Spring hither winds her career,
Our trees and our hedges to fill,
Vast oceans of verdure appear,
To charm you at Jesmond Mill.

To plant every rural delight,
Mere Nature has lavish'd here skill;
Here fragrant soft breezes unite,
To wanton round Jesmond Mill.

When silence each evening here dwells,
The birdes in their coverts all still;
No music in sweetness excells
The clacking of Jesmond Mill.

Reclin'd by the verge of the stream,
Or stretch'd on the side of the hill,
I'm never in want of a theme,
While learning at Jesmond Mill.

Sure Venus some plot has design'd,
Or why is my heart never still,
Whenever it pops in my mind,
To wander near Jesmond Mill.

My object, ye swains, you will guess,
If ever in love you hadskill;
And now I will frankly confess,
'Tis--Jenny of Jesmond Mill.

-Phil Hodgson--In: The Newcastle Song Book or Tyne-Side Songster., W&T Fordyce

Could any Geordies advise me regarding Jesmond Mill? Was it in or about the beautiful little park in Newcastle called Jesmond Dene? or Dean?

Conrad.

I will be staying in Jesmond on Friday 21st July and saturday 29th July. I remember Jesmond Dene very well. I used to visit as a child and remember with affection the stepping stones and the waterfall. i am really looking forward to seeing it all again.

I did not know there was a song about the old mill and would love to get the tune etc.

i will try to get the book when I am over. Do Windows stock it??

Dont know if Windows has it.... But I am looking for a book which they might have.... Allan's Illustrated Edition of Tyneside Songs and Readings. With lives, portraits, and autographs of the writers, and notes on the songs. Rev. ed. Newcastel upon Tyne: Thomas and George Allan, 1891. Reprinted Newcastle upon Tyne: Frank Graham, 1972.

I am not interested in the 1891 edition except perhaps in xereox. I have been searching for the 1972 edition which should be available.... Let me know what you find.... cbladey@mail.bcpl.net Does Windows have a web page or phone?

Conrad
