Balsham Mill Balsham · Cambridgeshire · England

Balsham Mill was a smock corn mill standing on the Linton Road at Balsham. County windmill records associate the mill with an 1831 date and identify it as a smock mill used for corn milling. Historic postcard and photographic records show the mill during its later life, when it remained a recognisable village windmill.

The mill had entered decline before demolition. Photographic records include views from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century and later images showing the mill disused or derelict with two sails. A local photographic record describes the windmill on the Linton Road as gradually falling into disrepair before demolition in the 1960s. County windmill lists give the demolition date as 1963.

The present site is recorded as surviving foundations rather than a complete mill. Balsham Mill is therefore a site-only survival, but the foundations retain the position of a nineteenth-century smock corn mill in the village landscape.
