Fort Green Mill was built in 1824. It was converted into a house in 1902. It was a four storey tower mill. It had four Patent sails and the domed cap, was winded by a fantail. It had two pairs of millstones. A photograph on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Green_Mill,_Aldeburgh of the working mill shows that the sails were double. It had a cast iron windshaft, and the fantail had six blades. An old notice on the building (see: Image) appears to be in a Scandinavian language, though not sure where the Scandinavian connection lies.
