Brixton Windmill
Surrounded by housing (and a prison) is this windmill, dating from 1816. At the time it was built, this would have been a rural area. By 1864, development of housing around the mill meant that it was sheltered from wind and could no longer operate. It was used once more as a mill in the early 20th Century, but this time it was powered mechanically rather than by the wind. The windmill was restored in 2010-2011 with a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Brixton Windmill
This is the nearest surviving windmill to the centre of London. It was built in 1816 and was driven entirely by wind until 1862. By then, the surrounding area was so built-up that the sails could no longer operate efficiently and they were removed two years later. In 1964, the London County Council restored it with new sails and some reconditioned machinery, most of which was obtained from a derelict tower mill at Burgh-Le-Marsh in Lincolnshire. This is the view from Windmill Gardens, a small park created to highlight the windmill.
