Standing astride Argos Hill, between Mayfield and Rotherfield, the Grade 2* listed windmill is a sorry sight of decay and demise. A shadow of its former self, this historic windmill has spent the past 5 years shrouded in scaffolding. But the future looks bright for the Argos Hill Windmill as a group of local enthusiasts have formed a Trust and are seeking charitable status. The Trust have leased the windmill from Wealden District Council in order to restore it and preserve it for future generations.
This picture taken in 1986 by Frank Gregory stands in stark contrast to images of the mill today. Full details are in the press release (see Related Article link below)
