Denver Windmill, Tower mill in Denver, United Kingdom.
The six-story stone tower mill reaches 59 feet in height and features four double shuttered patent sails operating three pairs of stones.
Built in 1835 to replace a post mill, the structure operated continuously until 1941 when lightning struck and damaged its wind-powered mechanisms.
The mill represents Norfolk's agricultural heritage through its traditional grain grinding methods and stone-ground flour production techniques.
Located on Sluice Road in Denver, Norfolk PE38 0EG, the mill includes a visitor center with a tearoom and bakery for guests.
The internal machinery contains wooden components and an iron mortice spur wheel mounted on an octagonal upright shaft for grain processing.
