SK6842 : Shelford Mill
taken 16 years ago, near to Newton, Nottinghamshire, England

Shelford Mill
This is the most southerly of three closely spaced windmills on the hills overlooking the Trent valley, and although correctly Shelford Mill, is also referred to as Newton Mill, as it is significantly closer to that village. It's the smallest of the three and the only one that has become derelict.
It was a post mill with a timber superstructure, and last worked around 1918. The superstructure inevitably became progressively derelict and was demolished in 1950 or 1951. Damage to brickwork which can be seen in contemporary views has since been repaired. A picture of the mill in 1906 can be found in Wikimedia Commons Link
