Mount Pleasant Mill Kirton in Lindsey · Lincolnshire · England

Mount Pleasant Mill was built in 1875 for miller Edric Lansdall on the site and remaining roundhouse of an earlier post mill, also known as North Mill or Far Mill, which had been lost after a gale in the 1870s. The new structure was a slightly tapering four-storeyed tarred brick tower mill with four patent sails, an onion-shaped ogee cap, and a fantail. The initials E.L. and the date 1875 are carved above the loading door, marking the mill's construction for Lansdall.

The mill was designed as a wind-powered corn mill. It originally had three pairs of millstones on the stone floor, including two pairs of Derbyshire Peak stones and one pair of French stone. Its structure incorporated the handmade-brick roundhouse of the former post mill below the machine-made brick tower, leaving a subtle change in fabric within the lower part of the building.

Wind working continued until 1933, and the sails were removed in the 1930s. Milling then continued with auxiliary power, including a single-cylinder Crossley diesel engine, and the mill remained in use until 1973. The surviving machinery is notable for retaining much original and unrestored equipment from the 1920s and 1930s, including the original cap with its oak cap frame, cast-iron windshaft, wallower, upright shaft and great spur wheel, together with the brake wheel, wooden brake, elevator arrangements, stones, and hurst framing.

Restoration in 1991 returned the mill to working order and reinstated its sails. The restored mill became a commercially working flour mill producing organic flour, with bread made in the bakery alongside. On 29 November 2015 high winds damaged the mill, tearing off two sails and the tail-fan. Milling continued using electric power while the damaged wind gear was addressed. The Grade II listed mill remains a prominent working survival of Lincolnshire's tower-mill tradition on the ridge above Kirton in Lindsey.
