In 1929, following an article in the Daily Mail about Britain's disappearing windmills, the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) launched a campaign to survey and protect England's windmills. The work was led by pioneering mill expert Rex Wailes, and soon became separate Windmill Section of the SPAB. In 1946 this became the Wind and Watermill Section, later referred to simply as the Mills Section. It still continues working to save England's historic mills today.

Lists of mill open days were originally included in the newsletters produced by Monica Dance (SPAB-CIR-05), starting with no. 2 (1968). From 1971 they were produced annually as a separate sheet prepared by Rosa Davies. This folder includes copies of the lists produced in 1971-1975. In 1978 a more detailed booklet was produced by Jenny West; this folder contains two copies of this. This was superseded in 1981 by "Windmills and watermills open to view" (in later editions, "Mills Open"), copies of which are available in the Mills Archive library.
