Great Grandad James PARTRIDGE had his own mill business at 19 years of age

He owned Aston Mill at Lea, Ross on Wye before moving to Ledbury

The house on the Hereford Road roundabout is still there behind the trees

The mill was demolished some years ago, but the mill race is still there if you know where to look
