Rolvenden Windmill
Rolvenden Windmill is a restored "turret" post mill built on a mill mound that probably belonged to a previous mill, as the current building is known to have replaced an earlier mill, some time after 1736. The mill has a rare type of brake, with wood below and iron above the centreline.
There is a mill here on a map dating from 1596 but not on maps of 1680 or 1736. Curiously, one is shown on a map of 1719.

This was taken with the original sony A7 I bought in October 2015, and the kit lens it came with. The mill, standing five miles south of Leamington Spa, is supported by six stone pillars and was in use until 1910 when its machinery broke down……

The Netherlands is so closely associated with windmills, that it's often the first fact people recall about the country. The Dutch built windmills for many centuries. The mills were developed for corn milling, land drainage, saw milling, and in fact all manner of industrial purposes.
In the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries were approximately 10,000 functional windmills in use in the Netherlands. Many mills were demolished after the arrival of electricity. About 1100 mills are throughout the Netherlands still standing and complete workable. They are preserved as important cultural and historic sites and are very popular tourist destinations. A number of characteristic mills was rebuilt in the Nederlands Openluchtmuseum (Dutch Open Air Museum).
The first mill is a Poldermill or Drainage windmill for draining polders in Noordlaren (Province of Groningen), built in 1862, relocated in the Dutch Open Air Museum in 1960. It uses an Archimedean screw to force up water. This is a screw-shaped device that is able to raise water by two metres.
The mill in the background, a Wind-driven Sawmill, a paltrok or postmill used as a sawmill, is from Numansdorp (Province of South Holland), built around 1680, relocated in the Museum in 1928.
This sawmill is a large sawing machine, a mill for the production of planks and poles, etc.

Nederland is nauw verbonden met windmolens. Wij bouwen al eeuwen molens voor allerlei industriële doeleinden: korenmolens, drainagemolens, zaagmolens, enz.
In de 17e, 18e en 19e eeuw waren ongeveer 10.000 windmolens in gebruik. Veel molens werden gesloopt na de komst van de elektrische energie. Nu staan er nog circa 1100 over heel Nederland verspreid. Het merendeel werkt zelfs nog. Ze worden in tact gehouden als belangrijke culturele en historische bezienswaardigheden, en zijn populaire toeristische attracties. Een aantal karakteristieke molens is gered door ze te herbouwen in het Nederlands Openluchtmuseum. Op het 44 hectare grote museumterrein zijn alle in Nederland voorkomende soorten windmolens te bezichtigen.
De eerste molen op de foto is een poldermolen voor het voor het droogmalen van de polder bij Noordlaren (provincie Groningen). De molen is oorspronkelijk uit 1862 en verhuisde in 1960 naar het Nederlands Openluchtmuseum.
De molen op de achtergrond, een houtzaagmolen, een paltrokmolen die werd gebruikt om boomstammen tot planken en palen te zagen. Deze molen is rond 1680 gebouwd in Numansdorp, in 1854 naar Dubbeldam (Dordrecht) verplaatst en in 1928 verhuisd naar het museum.
Dit is een grote zaagmolen zaagmachine, een molen de productie van planken en palen, etc.

The current windmill has been on the hill since 1980. The previous mill burned down in 1946 (built in the 1850s).
The skyline with a windmill was lost after the fire. After a while a committee was formed for the preservation of local history to find a replacement mill.
In 1978 Helsingborg city council offered the Stattena mill to the committee. After detailed planning th mill was moved during 1979-1980, by sea and land. After several years of non-profit work to restore the mill, it was inaugurated in 1984. Nowadays the mill is used for grinding flour several times a year.
You may visit all floors in the mill at open mill days and you can also admire the view over the strait between Sweden and Denmark.
Smock windmills were introduced by the Dutch in the 17th century. The lower half of the smock windmill was made of stone, while the upper half was made of wood.
