Tower corn mill recorded
North Street Mill is recorded as a wind-powered tower corn mill at Winterton.
Site overview
North Street Mill was a wind-powered corn mill at Winterton in Lincolnshire. It is recorded by specialist mill sources as a tower mill and is associated with the North Street area of the town. The surviving record identifies it as a former corn-milling site rather than a complete working mill.
The site should be kept distinct from other Winterton and North Lincolnshire mill records, including post mills and tower mills in nearby settlements. Its known importance lies in preserving the location of one of Winterton's former wind-powered corn mills.

History
North Street Mill was one of Winterton's wind-powered corn mills. The mill is recorded in Lincolnshire mill indexes and Mills Archive place records as North Street Mill, Winterton. It was a tower mill, a form widely used in Lincolnshire for nineteenth-century corn milling.
The surviving public record for the site is limited but positive. It identifies the site by name, location and type, and places it within the corn-milling landscape of Winterton. The mill no longer survives as a complete working windmill. It is best recorded as a former tower corn mill represented by remains or by its documented site, rather than as a preserved or converted working structure.
North Street Mill is important in the database because it separates the Winterton tower-mill site from other mills with similar county or settlement names. It should remain a distinct Winterton record with the town value retained as Winterton and the output recorded as corn.
