Full Description
Tower mill, known to have been built by 1824, and worked by wind until the late 1920s, when the sails were taken off. There were originally four patent sails which drove three pairs of stones. It continued to be worked by engine until at least the late 1940s, although the cap had also been removed by this time, and a flat roof installed. It is of six storeys, and built of red brick, with the doorway to the east side formed by double plank doors. It has unusual fenestration, in that its windows are not located one above the other, as in most English tower mills. The mill was converted into a private residence at some point in the mid 20th century, and no longer has any of its internal machinery. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate entry in the National Heritage List for England. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}{7}
