Located on Salvington Hill a mill has existed on this site as far back as the medieval period. The current post mill dates from around 1750 and remained in use until its closure in 1897 after which the roundhouse was used as a tearoom until the 1950s. The mill came into possession of Worthing Borough Council in 1959 and restoration work was applied over the following decades. The mill restarted grinding in 1991.
