Plumstead Common Windmill, Tower mill in Plumstead Common, England.
The four-storey brick windmill stands at the center of Plumstead Common, featuring four common sails and a distinctive domed cap structure.
Built in 1764, this Grade II listed building operated as a corn mill until 1848, when it was transformed into a brewhouse for local beer production.
The structure now forms part of The Old Mill pub, which maintains regular appearances in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide for its real ale selections.
Visitors can locate the mill at coordinates 51.481723, 0.084119 within the Royal Borough of Greenwich, accessible through Plumstead Common Road.
In 1827, the mill's stage collapsed during a public gathering to view a sham fight, marking a significant event in its operational history.
