More about this scene
This lovely old building stands in Leighton Road, close to its junction with Wood Lane. There are records of millers in Neston dating back to 1672, and the Mostyn Estate map of 1814 indicates two windmills in the area, but one was demolished in 1822 following severe storm damage. The sails of the mill last turned towards the end of the 1880s, but from 1975 to 1990 it had a new lease of life when it became home to a glass engraving business. It has since been renovated with a new roof and turned into a lovely one-bedroom residence by the owner, Mr Blackburn, who lives in the cottage just visible to the right of the mill.
