Full Description
An early mill site marked on 16th and 17th century maps (S1). Late 19th-century photographs show a post mill with full width porch and eaves gallery. The mill was badly damaged in the March 1895 gale although it is believed to have been repaired. It is certainly marked on (S2). The mill's brick round house was used as the headquarters of Bradwell Home Guard during WWII and survived into the 1960s, having been used for many years for storage.
See (S3) for further information.
