Keston Windmill, 18th-century Grade I listed windmill in Keston, England
The wooden structure rises three stories above a single-story roundhouse, featuring four double Patent sails mounted on a cast-iron windshaft.
Built in 1716, the windmill operated continuously until the late nineteenth century, with William Ashby performing major repairs to its sails in 1836.
The windmill represents early industrial engineering, with its original machinery remaining intact, including a flour dresser that influenced designs at other mills.
The mill contains two pairs of underdrift millstones in its breast section, powered by a wooden brake wheel connected to a cast-iron wallower.
The date '1716' remains carved into the main post of the structure, marking it as one of the oldest surviving post mills in Greater London.
