Lowson's Mill, or Westwood Mill, is first mentioned in 1802 when George Jakeman was permitted to have a cart-road (extant today) from Keldgate Road to the windmill he had erected in his close, adjoining but not actually part of the Westwood. It was a brick tower mill with five sails. The mill was dismantled in 1891 and today only the lower part of the tower remains. In this photograph, it is hidden from view by the private house far left, still known as Lowson's Mill. The white-painted buildings, originally part of the same close, are today semi-detached houses, being Westwood Mill and Westwood Mill Cottage respectively.
