History
The Gateshead tower-mill site forms part of the windmilling history of the south bank of the Tyne. Windmills were historically associated with the Gateshead area, including the Windmill Hills district and later tower-mill remains. The surviving remains represent a former wind-powered milling site rather than a complete working mill.
The detailed construction date, full working history, machinery, and final closure date have not been established here.
