Wandsworth Common Windmill, Historical windmill in Wandsworth Common, United Kingdom.
The hexagonal smock mill stands on a brick base with a reconstructed cap, representing nineteenth-century industrial engineering in the London area.
Built in 1837, this structure operated as a drainage pump for the London and Southampton Railway, directing water into an ornamental lake called the Black Sea.
The Grade II listed windmill serves as an educational resource for understanding the transition from wind power to modern energy sources in British agricultural history.
Located within Wandsworth Common's public grounds, the mill structure remains accessible to visitors exploring the surrounding green spaces throughout the year.
The mill's connection to Price's Candle Works highlights the intersection of railway construction and industrial development in Victorian London.
