Hogg Hill Mill, Post mill in Icklesham, England.

The mill contains two pairs of millstones arranged head and tail, with four spring sails mounted on a cast iron windshaft at its exterior.

Originally constructed in Pett during 1781, the wind-powered corn mill was relocated to its current location in Icklesham in 1790 and operated until 1920.

The mill structure represents traditional English milling techniques and agricultural practices that were fundamental to local grain processing in the 18th century.

Paul McCartney transformed the mill into a recording studio in 1985, following his acquisition of the property in 1981 to reduce professional studio costs.

Hogg Hill Mill stands as one of only two surviving post mills in England that maintains a roof-mounted fantail, marking its technological advancement.
