Date

After 1903

Description

Booton Windmill, originally situated on Windmill Hill in Mill Lane, off Ollands Road, is shown working there on the 1844 Tithe map. It was moved to Booton Hill in 1903 (some sources say it was demolished in 1890) and this photograph was taken in Booton.

The story (recorded by Harry Hawes in his memoirs) that the timbers were used in the construction of the well head, now in the courtyard next to The Dial House, is not thought to be true.
