Frindsbury Great Mill Frindsbury · Kent · England

Great Mill at Prospect Hill, Frindsbury, also known as Rose's Mill, was one of several windmills recorded in the Frindsbury landscape. Prospect Hill was associated with more than one smock mill, including Little Mill and Great Mill, and the area is well represented in Kent windmill image collections.

Great Mill is recorded as a smock mill by 1843. It worked as a wind-powered corn mill before being demolished around 1890. The base was converted into a pair of cottages, preserving a domestic afterlife for the lower structure after the loss of the smock body, cap, sails, and machinery. Photographic archive material records the Prospect Hill mills in the early twentieth-century visual tradition, including views of the Little and Great mills at Frindsbury. Great Mill is therefore a lost working windmill whose site and lower fabric continued through later conversion.
