Bocking Windmill, Post mill in Bocking Churchstreet, England.
The five-floor windmill stands 43 feet tall with two common sails and two spring sails mounted on a wooden windshaft.
The mill began operations in 1721 at its original location before being moved 200 yards up the hill to its current position in 1829.
The windmill represents industrial technology from the 18th century with its original machinery and millstones preserved for educational purposes.
Visitors can explore computer presentations on the ground floor, while guided tours explain the milling process across all five levels.
The mill features a two-story brick roundhouse with a boarded roof, housing complex gear systems and two pairs of millstones driven by wind power.
