Upminster Windmill
Windmill
Upminster Windmill was built for James Nokes, a local farmer, in 1803. It is a Grade II* listed building and in terms of quality, completeness and significance it is widely considered to be amongst the very best remaining English smock mills. It finished working commercially in 1935 and underwent significant changes internally in the 1940s and 1950s to automate the milling process.
