Chislet Windmill, Historical windmill in Canterbury, England
The white wooden structure stands three stories tall with a low brick base and features a traditional smock mill design from the 18th century.
Built in 1744, this corn mill operated continuously until 1916 when severe damage from a strong gale forced its permanent closure.
During World War II, engineer Barnes Wallis used the Mill House as a residence while conducting tests for the bouncing bomb development.
The mill's location at coordinates 51.3666, 1.19389 makes it accessible via the Thanet Way road, near the village of Chislet.
After a fire destroyed the original structure in 2005, a replica without sails was constructed in 2011 during a housing development project.
