Saxtead Green Post Mill, Framlingham Suffolk. 05 04 2014

Saxtead Mill is called a Post Mill, because the top of the Mill, the wooden structure above the brick base, turns on a central post.

 

The external ladder moves around on a circular track, driven by gears on the Fan Tail. This ensures that the Sails are always facing into the wind.
