More about this scene
The Windmill, Argos Hill c1955. This fine post mill of 1835 still tops Argos Hill. It has the Sussex tailpost fan-tackle seen on the famous Sussex post mills (eg, Jill windmill, Clayton near Pyecombe). It survived World War I (when demolition was considered, as it was a good landmark for German Zeppelins) and worked until 1927. This picture shows it semi-derelict, but it has since been restored.
