Gainsford End Mill, Tower mill in Gainsford End, England.
The Gainsford End Mill rises 50 feet tall with a 20-foot diameter base, featuring a domed cap and an eight-bladed fantail system.
Built in 1869 for £2000, this mill replaced an earlier post mill and operated continuously until 1928, grinding grain for the local community.
The Grade II listed status of Gainsford End Mill reflects its importance in preserving Essex's agricultural and industrial heritage for future generations.
The mill structure contains five floors and previously housed three pairs of millstones, with two pairs measuring 4 feet 4 inches in diameter.
The cast iron windshaft from Gainsford End Mill spent 28 years installed at Duck End Mill in Finchingfield before being removed in 1986.
