This section of Belton Road to the north of the junction with Round Hill Road was built around 1914 on the former site of Round Hill Windmill. The tower mill had been built in 1838 and continued working until 1910 and was demolished in 1913 with the bricks recycled and used in the houses that replaced both the mill and its outbuildings. The last owners were the Cuttress family who acquired it in 1880 and would later go on to set up Forfars Bakery, a local chain that is still in existence today. See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume20/source/jg_20_075.htm for an image taken around 1893 with the mill located on the spot now occupied by the four terraced houses on the right.
