Green's Mill, Sneinton, Nottingham
http://www.greensmill.org.uk
Green’s Windmill is a restored and working 19th century tower windmill. It was owned and operated in the 19th century by the mathematical physicist George Green. You may tour the mill (especially on a windy day!) and discover the process of turning grain into flour. All the flour from Green's Mill is organically grown and available at the mill shop or by mail order. Green's Windmill has won 'best flour' in the Soil Association Organic Food Awards in partnership with You magazine; 2001 Winner for wholemeal spelt flour, 2002 Winner for white spelt flour and Commended for wholemeal spelt flour.
George Green was a mathematical genius who developed new ways of doing mathematics, which have helped scientists to understand the world around us. Test your brain power with the hands-on experiments in the Science Centre which explore electricity, magnetism and light, ideal for young children.

Sneinton: view from the corner of Walker Street
Windmill Lane climbs up the marlstone hills which form the hilly eastern side of the city. St Mary's Church in The Lace Market, seen between the houses on the corner of Walker Street, is on the lower sandstone bluff above the former course of the River Leen on which the original Saxon burgh developed.

Common and Spring Sails - Green's Mill
The horizontal sails are the simplest (common sails), a wooden lattice over which a cloth was placed. This with a good wind turned the sails. Adjustments need the milling to pause. The vertical sails are spring sails, these are shutters on a spring, again these need adjustment by the miller and thus a pause. These are early sails, in the 19th C patent sails meant sails didn't need the mill to stop, all was automatic. Image] Image]
