London’s only working windmill (London’s Hidden Gems Part 05 ) 📸 @rohan.pawarr Halfway up Brixton Hill, in a small park hidden away behind terraces of tall Victorian houses, you will find one of the most startling historic buildings in London. Brixton Windmill is a 205 years old only surviving windmill in inner London. Visitors can climb up inside the mill to the dust floor, above which the interior of the wooden cap is visible. Here you can see the wind shaft, brake wheel and wallower, which transfer power to the vertical shaft that drives the stones. Brixton windmill is an amazing restoration and a great piece of living history A wonderful reminder of Brixton's rural past and inner London's last working mill. Built-in 1816 by the Ashby family who produced flour until 1934. When the Windmill was built in 1816, the area of Brixton Hill was still open fields. The mill was leased to John Ashby, and operated as a grain mill for all its working life, through three generations of the family it was known locally as ‘Ashby’s Mill’. The rapid expansion of London in the 1850s meant the area around the mill became built up, blocking the strong winds needed to drive the sails. In 1862 Ashby & Sons transferred their milling to Mitcham, keeping the Brixton mill for storage but removing its sails and most of the machinery. However, in 1902 the family decided to use the Brixton mill again – this time to house an iron-clad ‘modular’ mill driven by steam. Boosted by sales of fine flour, bread and a variety of other products, the mill again flourished, until it finally closed in 1934. Restored to working order in 2011. Halfway up Brixton Hill, in a small park hidden away behind terraces of tall Victorian houses, one of the most startling historic buildings in London @brixtonwindmill is one of London’s hidden treasures. You can buy windmill-inspired gifts from the shop or book a 30 minutes tour in advance. https://www.brixtonwindmill.org/product/book-brixton-windmill-tour/ 📍Blenheim Gardens, SW2 5DA To discover more London hidden gems with me follow @kite.today #londonhiddengems #brixtonwindmill #brixton #londongram #travelblogger #londontravel #thisislondon

A few hours after arriving home from Glastonbury we were up early and out the door again, heading in the only direction we knew where to reach with eyes closed - The Brixton Windmill. Our bodies and minds may have been beaten and bruised, but by god, our spirits were willing and persistent to show the people of @artistsden what we’ve got. Live version of Adderall up on our YouTube now! Full interview and set coming this Friday. Exclusive to @variety

A clip of my song Museum from my show at The Windmill in Brixton on 4th of Feb. It was such a great evening filled with good music and wonderful people.

The windmill on Bidston Hill is mentioned in an early manuscript dated 1609 and may have been there as early as 1596. It is next mentioned in the Kingston map of 1665. The mill of 1665 was a “peg mill”. It was destroyed in 1791 during a gale. In the high winds, the sails revolved so fast that the friction caused the machinery to ignite! In 1800, a new “tower mill” was built from brick to replace the peg mill. The tower mill ground corn to flour for 75 years. Situated on top of Bidston Hill, it was ideally placed to catch the wind, but getting to and from the mill caused no end of problems for cart drivers. The windmill could produce 122 lb (about 51 kg ) of flour every 3 to 5 minutes (depending on the wind speed). In this style of mill the top or ‘cap’ can be rotated through 360°, so that sails can follow the direction of the wind. On the back of the mill you can see the large wooden chain-wheel, which was used to turn the roof slowly around using a rack and gear system. The last miller to work the mill was Mr Youds. Although safety concerns were not as important in the 1800s as they are today, the windmill did have one important safety feature: an extra door! One of the doors would always be clear of the rapidly turning sails, which could reach speeds of 60 miles an hour on a windy day. Unfortunately one of Youds’ predecessors forgot which door to use, and went out through the wrong one. He was struck by one of the four heavy sails and was killed. During the 1890s, Bidston Hill was purchased by the Bidston Hill Committee from Lord Vyner for public use and in 1894 the windmill was restored by a Mr R. S. Hudson. The Metropolitan Borough of Wirral carried out more remedial work over the years until 2004, when the windmill was closed for renovations. The roof was repaired in February 2006. The windmill is now an educational resource. #windmill #windmills #wirral #wirrallife #history @wirralspendindependent @wirralintheloop @out_in_liverpool @wirralfamilydays @wirra
