Friston Windmill, Post windmill in Suffolk Coastal, England
The timber-framed post windmill stands on a central wooden post, allowing the entire structure to rotate for optimal wind capture.
Built in the early nineteenth century, this Grade II* listed windmill served the local agricultural community by processing grain into flour.
The windmill represents the technological advancement of Suffolk's agricultural heritage and traditional grain milling methods from previous centuries.
A steel framework installed in 2004 maintains the structural integrity of the windmill, ensuring its continued preservation for future generations.
The entire wooden structure of Friston Windmill rotates on a single central post to face changing wind directions for efficient grain grinding.
