Tower mill constructed
The red-brick tower corn mill was built in the early nineteenth century.
Site overview
Haven Bank Windmill is a former tower corn mill on Copping Sykes Road, Wildmore. The Grade II listed structure is an early nineteenth-century red-brick tower mill of circular plan. It has a three-storey tower with a battered base, brick-corbelled top, and segment-headed boarded openings to each stage.
Specialist mill sources identify the site as Haven Bank Mill and record it as a tower corn mill. The cap, sails, and working machinery are no longer part of the listed description, but the brick tower survives as a clear remnant of Wildmore's wind-powered corn-milling landscape.

History
Haven Bank Windmill stands on Copping Sykes Road in Wildmore. It was built as an early nineteenth-century tower corn mill and is identified in mill sources as Haven Bank Mill. The Grade II listed tower is built of red brick and has a circular plan.
Its three-storey form has a battered base, a brick-corbelled top, and segment-headed boarded openings to each stage. The surviving structure represents the reduced tower of the former windmill after the loss of its cap, sails, and principal working machinery. Historic image records from the early twenty-first century show the tower standing within a tree-lined rural setting.
The listed tower remains the main surviving element of the former corn mill at Haven Bank.
