1830
Tower mill built
Longbottom's Mill at Everton was built around 1830 as a brick tower windmill.
Site overview
Longbottom's Mill is the former Everton Windmill on Mattersey Road, Everton. The windmill was built around 1830 as a battered circular brick tower of four stages. It functioned as a corn mill, and the surviving interior was recorded with a main post, tentering gear, and a single pair of stones.
Fragments of the cap and fantail stage survive above the tower. A separate late nineteenth-century boiler house and chimney stand nearby and were used with a boiler and steam engine to supplement the windmill in calm weather, possibly forming a self-contained milling unit. The windmill, boiler house, and chimney were all first listed as Grade II on 23 November 1984.
Later photographs identify the mill as disused or converted, while the listed buildings preserve the combined wind and auxiliary power arrangement.

History
Longbottom's Mill stands on Mattersey Road at Everton. The supplied coordinates match the Everton Windmill site and its associated boiler house and chimney, not Misterton. The tower mill was built around 1830.
It is a battered circular brick tower, formerly tarred, with stone sills, cogged eaves, and four stages. The openings have segmental heads. At ground-floor level there are doorways to the north and south and unglazed windows to the east and west.
Above this level, the tower has two windows on each stage, recorded as unglazed but formerly fitted with single-light glazing-bar casements. Fragments of the cap and fantail stage remain above the tower. Internally, the listed description records the main post, tentering gear, and a single pair of stones.
A late nineteenth-century brick boiler house with pantiled roof and detached brick chimney stands at the rear. The chimney has a square base, projecting band, tapered square stack, and cogged and corbelled cap, and is about 50 feet high. The boiler house contained a boiler and steam engine used to supplement the windmill in calm weather and may have formed a self-contained milling unit.
The windmill and the boiler house and chimney were each first listed as Grade II on 23 November 1984.
