Oldland Mill, Post mill in Keymer, England

The wooden structure of Oldland Mill stands on a single vertical post, allowing the entire body to rotate and position the sails into the wind direction.

Built in 1703, Oldland Mill operated for over two centuries until 1912, when its wind-powered mechanisms ceased functioning due to deteriorating conditions.

Local volunteers through the Oldland Mill Trust maintain and operate this Grade II listed structure, producing flour using traditional milling methods.

The mill opens for guided tours on specific days, offering visitors opportunities to observe the internal mechanisms and learn about traditional grain processing methods.

The mill features four spring sweeps controlled by a tailpole and contains a cast iron windshaft manufactured by Lewes millwright Boaz Medhurst in 1873.
