The lane heads south west from Newhaven Road and climbs up to the peak of Mill Hill where, as the names suggest, the old village windmill was once located. That mill was demolished at the end of the 18th century and replaced by another post mill further down the hill and located on a bank beyond the trees to the right. This post mill operated from 1801 to 1912 when, after years of minimal use, it was pulled down. Daisy Cottage and Wheelwrights are the houses to the right.
