More about this scene
This is a fine old Sussex downland post mill with a domesticated structure enclosing the trestle. Powered by two common cloth sails and two spring-controlled sails, the mill was turned into the wind by means of a tailpole. It was built in around 1710 and worked to 1894, and again until 1914. The photograph shows the mill when the site was used as a tea garden. The mill is now restored to working order, with an original-style roundhouse enclosing the trestle, and is open to visitors.
