Sarre Windmill, Smock mill in Sarre, England.
The white windmill stands on a two-story brick base, featuring four double patent sails mounted on a cast iron windshaft and a fantail.
Built in 1820 by Canterbury millwright John Holman, the mill received additional height in 1856 when its base was raised to fourteen feet.
The mill represents Kent's agricultural heritage, demonstrating the progression from wind power to steam engines in nineteenth-century grain processing methods.
Located at the intersection of Ramsgate Road and A28 in Kent, visitors can observe the exterior structure while exploring the surrounding countryside.
This mill became the first in Kent to incorporate a steam engine for auxiliary power in 1861, marking a technological advancement in local milling operations.
