High Salvington Windmill, Post mill in High Salvington, England.
High Salvington Windmill is a wooden post mill located on a hilltop near Worthing, equipped with large sails that rotate in the wind. The structure demonstrates how grain was traditionally ground into flour using wind power.
The mill was built around 1750 and initially ground wheat for flour before later switching to processing animal feed. Operations ceased in the early 1900s.
The Grade II listed building represents traditional wind-powered grain processing methods and serves as an educational center for agricultural engineering history.
The mill can be visited on certain days when it is open to the public and weather conditions allow. It is wise to check ahead about opening times before your visit, as access depends on weather and scheduled open days.
The site houses a restored wind pump from another location, making this mill a rare place with two different types of wind-powered machines. This combination allows visitors to see two distinct approaches to harnessing wind power.
