Drapers Windmill, St Peter's Footpath, Margate
Grade II Listed four-storey smock-type windmill, one of three that stood on the site. It was built in 1845, by John Holman, millwright of Canterbury and worked solely by wind until 1916 and then by a 20 horsepower (15kW) gas engine until the late 1930s. The sweeps and fantail were removed in 1927. The Drapers Windmill Trust was formed in 1965 when it was threatened with demolition and in 1968 the Kent Education Committee acquired the Mill, which was restored at a cost of over £2,000.00. One pair of sweeps were fitted December 1971 and a second pair from Black Mill at Barham were adapted to fit by millwright Vincent Pargeter and fitted in 1974. Now in the care of Kent County Council who are fully supported by the Drapers Windmill Trust who are responsible for the day to day running and restoration of the Mill.
