More about this scene
A hundred years ago, windmills were a ubiquitous feature of the downland landscape. This mill, standing proudly alongside the modern tea kiosk and ticket office for Rottingdean's pitch and putt course, is one of the many wooden smock mills erected in Sussex during the 19th century.
