The survey was commenced in earnest in 2007, though it incorporates some material collected earlier, and is ongoing. It will has three basic elements: (1) photographs, (2) a series of written technical descriptions (https://new.millsarchive.org/2019/09/13/technical-descriptions-of-english-windmills/), and (3) technical drawings. There are links to material compiled by other researchers, whose work has been drawn upon in compiling the technical descriptions.
