Waltham Windmill, Tower mill in Waltham, Lincolnshire, England.
The six-story brick windmill stands near Grimsby with six double-sided patent sails and four pairs of grinding stones for flour production.
Built between 1878 and 1880 by John Saunderson of Louth, this mill replaced previous structures that had existed on the site since 1666.
The windmill serves as an educational center where students learn about milling processes and agricultural heritage through guided tours and demonstrations.
Visitors can explore the working mill, adjacent miniature railway, Museum of Rural Life, RAF Exhibition, and enjoy facilities including a cafe and restaurant.
During World War II, the mill owner protected the structure with a shotgun when authorities considered demolishing it as a potential German bomber waypoint.
