Dist:0.3km<br/>Post mill, dating from 1665. This is the oldest working mill in England. http://www.outwoodwindmill.co.uk/home.htm

Dist:0.3km<br/>Built in 1665, this post mill is the oldest working windmill in the country. Grade I listed - for listing particulars see http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1029961. On 5 January 2012, during a severe gale, one of the sweeps was badly damaged - the remains can be seen on the ground to the right of the mill. For the full story, see http://www.outwoodmill.com/history/january-gales-2012/. For a photo of the mill from the same spot, with a full set of sweeps, see [[2745365]]. Until 1960 there was a smock mill next to it, but this was destroyed in a gale that year. For a photo of the two mills together, see http://www.francisfrith.com/outwood,surrey/photos/the-windmills-1906_54733/. What makes the site a good spot for a windmill clearly has its disadvantages.
