Site overview
Upton Mill is a recorded post windmill site at Upton, near the supplied coordinates. Specialist windmill records identify it as a post mill and associate the surviving remains with a roundhouse. Modern photographs from 2006 show the post-mill roundhouse, and a 2008 photographic record identifies Windmill Cottage at the site.
The available sources do not provide a construction date, working-life chronology, final closure date, miller sequence, or detailed machinery description. No statutory listing has been identified in the consulted records. The evidence therefore supports a present-facing description of surviving post-mill roundhouse remains at Upton, while the operational history remains largely undocumented in the accessible sources.

History
Upton Mill is recorded as a post windmill at Upton. The supplied coordinates are close to the specialist windmill record for Upton and do not support the broader town label Newark-on-Trent. The mill is identified as a post mill, and the surviving feature recorded in modern photographic sources is the post-mill roundhouse.
A photograph from 2006 records the roundhouse in Upton, and a 2008 photograph records Windmill Cottage at the site. These records establish the site identity, type, locality, and survival of the roundhouse, but they do not provide a fuller working history. The consulted sources do not identify the date of construction, the millers or owners, the machinery, the number of sails, the final working date, or any later conservation programme.
The surviving evidence is therefore limited but useful: Upton Mill was a post mill, and its roundhouse remained visible in the early twenty-first century.
