Full Description

This record includes information from PRN 52777 which has been deleted. This tower mill was built in 1823 and ceased to work in the 1920s. The sails were removed in 1927 but it carried on by engine for a number of years. The cap had been removed by 1931 and the mill now (1986) stands disused. There were four patent sails and a steam engine with a very tall chimney adjoining the mill. Much of the machinery has survived; the upright shaft has a square wooden upper section and an iron lower section with an iron wallower and great spur wheel. The friction-driven sack-hoist remains, as do two pairs of grey and one pair of French stones. The quants, stone nuts and tentering gear have all been removed. {1}{4} The building is marked as a 'windmill' on the 1956 1:10560 Ordnance Survey map. {2} The building is marked as 'The Old Mill' on the 1970 1:10000 Ordnance Survey map. {3} A c.1810 tower mill constructed of red brick with a 20th century felted roof. The interior retains wooden floors together with most of the gear comprising grinding stones, cog wheels, spindle and hoppers. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {5}
