Buckland Windmill, Wind-powered sawmill in Buckland, Surrey, England.
The Buckland Windmill stands with a 9-foot tower covered in oak shingles, mounted on a two-story wooden structure with patent sweeps and working cap.
Built by Cooper of Henfield between 1860 and 1870, the mill operated until 1892 when steam power replaced wind as the primary energy source.
Five generations of the Sanders family maintained sawyer operations at the site from 1840 to 1950, contributing to local wood processing traditions.
Visitors need appointments to access the mill, located 100 yards down Dungates Lane from the A25 Reigate to Dorking road at postcode RH3 7BD.
This Grade II listed structure remains the only surviving wind-powered sawmill in England, featuring original machinery including a sawbench and lathe.
