Lowson's Mill, or Westwood Mill, is first mentioned in 1802 when George Jakeman was permitted to have a cart-road (extant today) from Keldgate Road to the windmill he had erected in his close, adjoining but not actually part of the Westwood. It was a brick tower mill with five sails. The mill was dismantled in 1891 and today only the lower part of the tower remains. The white-painted buildings, originally part of the same close, are today semi-detached houses, being Westwood Mill and Westwood Mill Cottage respectively.
