Ashcombe Mill, Post mill in Kingston, East Sussex, England
Located on Kingston ridge near Lewes, Ashcombe Mill stands as a reconstructed post mill with six sails and a white-painted exterior structure.
The original mill, constructed in 1828 by millwright Samuel Medhurst from Lewes, operated until its destruction during a severe storm in 1916.
The mill represents traditional English milling practices, demonstrating the agricultural methods and engineering capabilities of early nineteenth-century Sussex.
Following reconstruction efforts that began in 2009, the mill incorporates modern technology to generate electricity sufficient for three households through wind power.
Archaeological investigations uncovered three original brick footings and cast iron components, which provided essential information for the accurate reconstruction of the structure.
