The Old Mill Stream

'The Old Mill Stream' was a column appearing in Aporrheta, Foop, Scottishe and Erg. The author was 'Penelope Fandergaste', later identified as Ron Bennett.

The column, subtitled ‘A Country Column of City Life’, first appeared in the debut issue of Aporrheta in July 1958. There was a good deal of speculation about its true authorship in the letter column.

In the 1990s Fandergaste/Bennett revived the column in Terry Jeeves’s Erg.
