Nutley Windmill (set of 2 images)
Nutley Windmill is the last open-trestle post mill in Sussex, and only one of five surviving in the country. She is also the only one working. Having an open trestle, Nutley Windmill is a very fine example of the oldest post mill design, known in the country since the 12th century.
[Extract from Sussex Mills Group Link]
There are three main types of windmills found within Great Britain. Post mills, smock mills and tower mills.
The post mill is of a timber framed construction with weather-boarded sloping external walls. It was manually positioned by hand to face the wind, unlike the smock and tower mills which had pivoting top with a tail fan.
