High Salvington windmill

The West Sussex village of High Salvington , near Worthing, is the site of one of the UK’s few working post mills.

It was built around 1750 and served the Worthing area until 1897. During much of the 20th century the mill was neglected although part of it was used as tea-room. A programme of restoration enabled the mill to begin grinding again in 1991. The mill stands 320 feet above sea level and is able to take advantage of incoming sea winds. The mill rotates on a solid oak post which is in turn supported by heavy cross beams.
