Upper Mill, Eastry, Grade II listed smock mill in Eastry, England
The Upper Mill features a three-story wooden structure with a brick base, circular tower, and sloping cap designed for grain processing operations.
The mill operated from the mid-eighteenth century until 1959, using wind power until 1913 before transitioning to gas and electric engines for grain processing.
The mill represents the agricultural traditions of Kent, where multiple windmills once served the local farming communities by processing grains into flour.
The structure retains its original windshaft and wooden brake wheel, while most other mechanical components were removed after operations ceased in 1959.
Four pairs of millstones were installed within the structure, demonstrating the considerable grain processing capacity of this eighteenth-century agricultural facility.
