History
Chilton Street Mill was erected in 1846.[1] It ceased work when the sails were blown off sometime before the First World War. The mill was stripped of machinery in the late 1920s or early 1930s and stands today as a shell.[2]
Description
Chilton Street Mill is a five storey tower mill. It had a domed cap winded by a fantail. The four Patent sails drove two pairs of millstones.[2]
