Bidborough Windmill, Tower mill in Bidborough, England.
The four-story brick structure features a cylindrical tower with a cement rendering and stands prominently on Penshurst Road in Kent.
Built in 1858, the mill operated with four patent sails until 1900 when lightning struck and damaged two of its original wooden components.
The mill supplied flour for local poor relief according to parish records from 1759, demonstrating its central role in community support.
Following residential conversion in 2006, the structure now forms part of Mill Court housing development, with a restored cap installed that year.
The mill contained an external pulley system that enabled operation through connection to either a traction engine or tractor for grain processing.
