History
Bear Mill was a post mill in Brighton. It formed part of the earlier windmilling landscape of the town before later urban development overtook many former mill sites. The standing mill structure has gone, and no surviving mill body, roundhouse, trestle, sails, or machinery has been confirmed at the site.
The site is therefore treated as a former post mill location only. The exact construction date, final working date, and demolition date have not been established for this specific mill.
