Upminster Windmill, Grade II* listed windmill in Upminster, England
The four-story smock mill stands 52 feet tall, featuring four patent sails mounted on a cast-iron windshaft and a boat-shaped cap with gallery.
Built in 1803 for farmer James Nokes, the mill operated with both wind and steam power, driving six pairs of millstones by 1856.
The mill exhibits traditional English milling techniques, with machinery including four pairs of millstones made from French Burr and Peak stones.
The Upminster Windmill Preservation Trust maintains the site, which opens for special events with admission fees of £6 for adults and £2 for children.
The mill employs smartmolen technology for remote monitoring of the cap and sails, a system that spread to other windmills across England and Germany.
