South Ockendon Windmill, Ruined smock mill in South Ockendon, United Kingdom.

The mill features an octagonal brick base with two stories, measuring 26 feet 4 inches across and reaching a total height of 58 feet.

Built in the 1820s, the structure operated as a combined mill with both wind power and a waterwheel until it ceased operations in 1923.

The mill represents traditional English milling practices, with its remains showcasing industrial architectural elements from the early nineteenth century.

Components from the original structure are stored at South Woodham Ferrers, with some parts designated for potential use in other mill restoration projects.

The mill contained four sails, including two double and two single Patent configurations, spanning 64 feet and powered by an eight-bladed fantail system.
