Skidby Mill, 19th-century windmill in Skidby, England.

The five-story brick structure features four sails measuring 11 meters in length and stands prominently against the Yorkshire countryside.

Built in 1821 and extended to its current height in 1870, the mill operated commercially until 1966 before becoming a museum in 1974.

The Museum of East Riding Rural Life within the mill complex exhibits agricultural machinery, including the locally manufactured Wolds Wagon from Sissons & Sons.

Visitors can observe milling activities from Wednesday to Sunday, with operations dependent on weather conditions throughout the opening hours.

This mill maintains the status as the last functioning English windmill located north of the Humber River, producing wholemeal flour from local wheat.
