About this image
It is a wooden post mill originally built in 1788. A stone roundhouse at its base is surmounted by a wooden box-like structure that houses the machinery. It stopped working in 1952 when the last miller, George Smedley, died. This photograph shows Mary Smedley turning the mill into the wind.
