Fowler's Mill, Historical windmill in Wandsworth, England
The Fowler's Mill featured a cylindrical structure measuring 52 feet in diameter at its base and reached a total height of 120 feet.
Thomas Fowler established this horizontal windmill in 1788, initially using it for grinding linseed before transitioning to malt processing for a local distillery.
Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger demonstrated substantial interest in the innovative design and operations of this industrial structure during its active period.
The mill contained ninety-six adjustable sails with shutters that regulated airflow, powering six pairs of millstones for efficient grain processing.
Unlike traditional vertical windmills, this structure rotated around a vertical shaft, representing an experimental approach to wind-powered milling technology.
