Vivien Leigh, Tickerage Mill, 1960s

Vivien is pictured here at her home, Tickerage Mill,  just west of Blackboys, East Sussex; her ashes were scattered in this pond shortly after her death in 1967, per her wishes.

The home was finally sold in 2017 by her grandsons after their mother, Vivien's only child, Suzanne Farrington, passed away in 2015. The mill is estimated to date back to the 17th century.
