Built in 1865 by J A Woods. He opened the brickworks at the site and used the windmill to provide the power to pump water out of the pit and to power a tramway incline. The mill was a brick tower mill, with five sails and a fantail. The mill provided energy for around forty years before being replaced by steam.
