Union Mill, Cranbrook
Union Mill, Cranbrook, Grade I listed windmill in Cranbrook, England
Union Mill rises 72 feet high with a three-story smock structure placed on a four-story brick base, making it the tallest smock mill in England.
Built in 1814 by millwright James Humphrey for Mary Dobell, the mill received its name after a union of creditors took control following her bankruptcy in 1819.
The mill preserves traditional milling techniques with its functional machinery, including patent sails, great spur wheel, crown wheel, and three pairs of millstones.
Visitors can explore the mill every Saturday and bank holiday from April through September, with additional Wednesday and Sunday openings during summer months.
The mill features Dutch-style wooden stocks supporting the patent sails, crafted by millwright Christiaan Bremer during restoration, differing from local Kentish designs.
