 Crowborough Post Mill in 1936 |
| This mill is one that has been sadly mutilated. It stands just off the main Tunbridge Wells and Lewes road, on the right-hand side going north, just past the Beacon Hotel, in the garden of a large house now for sale and formerly a convalescent home, so I am told. It is a large black tarred mill, with metalled roof and breast, and is now bereft of sweeps. I was not able to learn anything as to the internal economy of this mill, but I have been told that it once drove two pairs of stones, one French burr and one peak. It is impossible without a ladder to get inside, for most of the rungs of the outside steps are missing and the tail-pole has been broken off near the body of the mill. The canister on the wind-shaft, which is a wooden one, remains, so that probably the brake- and tail-wheels are intact. extract from Hemming's Windmills |
