Broad Eye Windmill, Tower mill in Stafford, England.
The Broad Eye Windmill is a tower mill in Stafford with seven floors contained within a cylindrical stone structure. The building rises to about 63 feet (19 meters) and displays the solid, functional design typical of mills from this era.
The mill was built in 1796 to serve local grain processing needs. Operations ceased in 1897 when its sails were removed.
The stone structure reflects how milling shaped daily life and work in this town for generations. Walking around it, visitors notice how such buildings once connected the community to essential food production.
The ground floor and basement can be explored when the building is open to visitors during summer days. It is best to plan a visit during these open days when guided tours are typically available.
Today the structure houses a community radio station that brings modern activity to the historic building. This shows how old buildings can find new purposes while remaining part of local life.
