Broad Eye Windmill, Tower mill in Stafford, England.
The Broad Eye Windmill extends to a height of sixty-three feet and contains seven floors within its cylindrical stone structure.
Built in 1796 to address local flour shortages caused by high prices, the mill operated until 1897 when its sails were removed.
The Grade II listed building represents the industrial heritage of Staffordshire and the evolution of local flour production methods.
The ground floor and basement remain accessible during summer open days organized by the Friends of Broad Eye Windmill organization.
The structure now houses Windmill Broadcasting, a community radio station that supports renovation efforts and local engagement.
