| More information : Banham post mill was constructed in at least the late 18th century, as it is named in documents dating to 1782. The red brick roundhouse had 9 foot piers that were integral with the 10 foot walls. The 4 double shuttered sails had 7 bays of 3 shutters rotating clockwise, although the innermost pair had an additional two vanes on the leading edge. The buck had a porch and a tailpole with one wheel. In 1915 the mill was irreparably damaged by wind and remained as a red brick roofless construction with 4 piers and part of the central post. Only the red brick construction was left by 1980, although the timbers are said to have been nearby. (1) |
