Tricker's Mill, Tower mill in Woodbridge, England.
Tricker's Mill is a five-story red brick tower mill in Woodbridge with segmental windows and a wooden platform beneath its cap. The structure was comprehensively restored in 2016 and now stands as a clearly visible landmark in the town.
The mill was built in 1818 as a corn mill with four patent sails and a cast iron windshaft that captured wind power. It operated using wind energy until 1920, marking the end of its working life as conditions changed.
The mill reflects how grain processing shaped daily life and work in this region for many generations. Visitors can see how such structures served as vital centers for the surrounding farming communities.
The ground and first floors now provide holiday accommodation with modern amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable bedroom space. The location in Woodbridge makes it easy to reach other attractions and town services.
The original domed cap was replaced with a boat-shaped cap in 1881 after being damaged by severe storms. This practical change shows how the structure was adapted to withstand the region's challenging weather.
