King's Mill, Shipley, Eight-sided smock mill in Shipley, England.
The windmill rises four stories above a two-story brick base, featuring patent sails mounted on a cast-iron windshaft and an octagonal cap directed by a fantail.
Built in 1879 for Fred Marten by millwright Grist of Horsham, the construction exceeded its initial budget of £800, reaching a final cost of £2,500.
Writer Hilaire Belloc purchased the mill in 1906 and maintained its operations until 1926, contributing to its preservation as a significant local landmark.
Visitors can view the mill's exterior from a public footpath near the property, with free parking available in a layby between the mill and St Mary's Church.
The mill gained television recognition as the residence of the main character in the BBC series Jonathan Creek, which transformed its interiors for filming.
