Site overview
Pearson's Mill was a tower corn mill at Barrow upon Humber. Specialist mill records identify it as a wind-powered tower mill used for corn milling, and the Lincolnshire windmill list records Pearson's Mill with an 1869 date. The same list gives 1896 as the last recorded date for the mill.
The site represents a later nineteenth-century tower mill within the Barrow upon Humber milling landscape, distinct from the nearby Barrow Haven and Barton upon Humber mills. The surviving documentary record establishes its name, type, function, location, and broad date range, preserving the identity of a short-lived or little-recorded wind-powered corn mill within North Lincolnshire.

History
Pearson's Mill was a tower corn mill at Barrow upon Humber. It was part of the clustered windmill landscape of the Humber-side settlements, where several nineteenth-century tower mills served the agricultural and industrial communities around Barrow and Barton.
The Lincolnshire windmill list records Pearson's Mill as a tower mill with an 1869 date, while specialist mill records identify it as a wind-powered corn mill. Its recorded position places it within the Barrow upon Humber area, separate from Barrow Haven Mill and the surviving Barton mills to the west.
The last recorded date for Pearson's Mill in the Lincolnshire list is 1896. The known history is therefore compact, but it establishes a later nineteenth-century tower mill whose principal function was corn milling. The site remains a documented element of Barrow upon Humber's wind-powered milling history, supported by specialist mill catalogues and the county windmill list.
