Kellington Windmill

The Kellington Windmill was built around 1800 to grind corn.

Originally with four floors and powered solely by wind, it later received a paraffin engine to supplement its operation during calm periods.

After the First World War, the sails were no longer used, marking the end of milling activities in 1927.
