Mystery Post Mill

Author: Michael Yates

Within the last few weeks, I have purchased a windmill photo probably dating from about 1920 that shows a post mill with the remains of a roof mounted fantail. I attach a copy of this photo.

I have searched my collection of books, postcards and photographs and have found references to at least 15 mills with fantails of this type. Unfortunately none of these 15 match the mill shown on this photo.  Can anyone throw any light on its location?
