Heckington Windmill, Tower windmill in Heckington, England
The tall brick tower windmill rises 30.48 meters high with eight white sails rotating against the Lincolnshire countryside backdrop.
Built in 1830 by millwright Edward Ingeldew for Michael Hare, the windmill underwent significant modifications when John Pocklington acquired it in 1891.
The mill represents the agricultural heritage of Lincolnshire, demonstrating traditional grain processing methods through its four operational millstones.
Located next to Heckington railway station, the mill opens daily from Easter to September and offers guided tours of its six working floors.
This Grade I listed building stands as the only remaining eight-sailed tower windmill operating in the world.
