Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 5 Dec 2014
Stone-built tower mill, built c.1823 by James Lindley to replace an earlier post mill destroyed by a gale in 1818. It was worked until 1895 after which it gradually became ruinous http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4274087. The structure has been consolidated in recent years and re-roofed, and the intention is to create educational displays. It can be visited by appointment, but when I turned up, the caretaker appeared from an adjacent house and was pleased to show me around. Listed Grade II.
