The site of a former windmill in Topsham. A document of 1769 refers to the windmill in the possession of the Collier family. A malthouse was probably associated with it. The deeds of Conway House listed the property as three cottages, a malt house and a windmill. It was probably a large mill which ground corn for export. A document of 1817 suggests that the mill had been demolished by then.
