White Roding Windmill
By Seeker
White Roding Windmill, a Grade II listed tower mill located in Essex, England, was constructed in 1877 to replace an earlier post mill that had been in operation since 1609. This five-storey brick structure features a distinctive ogee cap and is notable for its historical significance, having operated by wind until 1926 and then by engine until 1931. The mill has a rich history, including ownership by actor Michael Redgrave and a period of dereliction in the 1950s. Today, it stands at 50 feet tall, with its only remaining machinery being a large Brake Wheel. The mill is a fascinating site for tourists and researchers interested in industrial heritage and the evolution of milling technology.
