Whissendine windmill is two hundred years old.It was disused for many years but was brought back to working order about twelve years ago.It now produces flour which is sold locally.
I am in love with these windmills. They're so strange, so big, so slow, but so cool. On this hot day in July, we drove up and took a picnic in the middle of nowhere just to sit and watch the windmills turn and enjoy the day. It was such a cool little trip. I should take more like that now that I have a better camera.
The interior of Nutbourne Tower windmill, built in 1854 it ceased working around 1893-4 since when it fell into disrepair leaving only the tower remaining. The mill stands within the grounds of Nutbourne Vineyards who now use the tower as their shop and wine tasting centre. As seen on the Sussex Mills Group tour of West Sussex, 18 April 2009.

The windmill was built in 1846 and worked until the 1920s when the sails were removed and the tower abandoned.
It was bought by the current owner in a very dilapidated state. Initially the two adjoining cottages were renovated. Then, because the mill was dangerous, with timber falling from the top, it was decided to put a new cap on and restoration began. The cap went up in 1979, followed by the sails in 1981.
The interior of the mill was also restored, with three floors being completely replaced and all the machinery and stones gathered from farm sales and other derelict mills.
The mill is now fully restored and in working order. Visitors can climb to the very top and go out on the fan deck.
