Six sailed, six storied tower windmill off the east side of Brigsley Road, Waltham, built in 1878-80 by John Saunderson of Louth. Used as a home guard lookout post in World War 2 and wind powered until 1962 when it was briefly converted to electricity for animal feed production. Restored and maintained by the Waltham Windmill Preservation Society since December 1966 http://www.walthamwindmill.co.uk/index.html and now occasionally used to produce flour.
