Alfriston Windmill, Tower mill in Alfriston, England.
The three-story brick tower mill stands with its four spring sails on a hill south of Alfriston village, overlooking the Cuckmere River valley.
Built in 1834 for grinding corn with two pairs of millstones, the mill operated until 1907 when a cow damaged one of its sails.
The mill conversion into residential accommodation in 1910 represents the shift from industrial heritage to modern living spaces in rural England.
The former mill structure remains visible from multiple vantage points in the village and provides an orientation landmark for visitors exploring the area.
After the incident with the cow in 1907, the mill continued operating for two additional years before all machinery was removed in 1908.
