Unidentified Windmills 🌍

The windmills on this page are either unidentified, or else more information about the mills is sought.

This isn't a competition I'm afraid (well at least not one with prizes), but if you can help please let me know by email to the email address at the bottom of this page.
Thank you.

Unknown mill. From a glass negative taken by the Berkeley-Weld family of Chipping in the photograph collection of the Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Preston, early 20th century.

Toothpaste Advertisment

This image of a smock mill came from some extremely thick card advertising toothpaste. I asked, can you identify the mill?

Success

Thanks to Russell Jones, who identified this picture as being of Earnley mill, West Sussex. He estimates the picture was taken in the 1970's.
