Black Mill, Smock mill in Whitstable, United Kingdom.

The Black Mill features a traditional design with a rotating cap, large sail arms, and black weatherboarding that stands against the Kent countryside.

Built around 1908, this Grade II listed building operated as a working mill until the mid-20th century, processing grain for the local community.

The mill represents the agricultural heritage of Kent, demonstrating early renewable energy methods through its wind-powered mechanism for grain processing.

Visitors can access the mill during specific hours, with guided tours providing information about traditional milling processes and regional agriculture.

The structure maintains its original cap and sails, offering educational opportunities about 19th-century engineering and food production techniques.
