Weston Colville Smock Mill Weston Colville · Cambridgeshire · England

Weston Colville smock mill is recorded as a wind-powered corn mill. The Mills Archive identifies the site as Smock mill, Weston Colville and gives its type as smock mill, its function as corn mill, and its location at Weston Colville in Cambridgeshire. Windmill World records the site at the same coordinates and describes it as a converted smock mill.

Its working-life details are less fully documented than its later physical survival, but the twentieth-century photographic sequence gives a clear account of decline and adaptation. The mill was recorded derelict with its cap in August 1933 and again in May 1934. A further photograph in June 1954 recorded the derelict mill with its windshaft and brakewheel, showing that important upper machinery elements still survived at that date.

By May 1973 A. C. Smith photographed the smock with a conical roof after an unfinished house conversion, with windshaft and brakewheel spokes lying on the ground. The site now stands in the record as a converted former smock corn mill, with its heritage interest defined by the retained reduced mill body and by photographs documenting the survival and loss of working fabric.
