Windmills, Smock Mill

There are three main types of windmill in Great Britain. The post mill, smock mill and tower mill.

The smock mill is of a timber framed construction with weather-boarded steeply sloping external walls. It was built on a brick base. A pivoting wooden top with sails moved independently of the main structure so that the sails could be positioned towards the wind. This was controlled by a tail fan.
