More about this scene
This is Wirral's tallest mill at 80 feet; it is constructed from materials salvaged from mills that had previously stood on the site. The first records of a mill here go back to 1321, but it is not known exactly how many mills have stood here in the intervening years to 1800, when the present mill was built. Following storm damage in 1930 when the sails were destroyed, the mill became obsolete. It now forms part of a private residence.
