Balsall Heath Mill: tower mill - restored

Windmill Lane, Balsall Common, West Midlands CV7 7GY. Near A452.

Built in 1826, on the site of a postmill. With its neat brick tower, boat-shaped cap and endless-chain winding, this was a typical Warwickshire tower mill. It is also the most complete, with sails and all its internal machinery and tools for making flour and animal feed. Worked by wind until 1927, by engine till 1948. Restored 1973-5. Further restoration work 2004 onwards, grant funded by English Heritage.
