Research notes on post mills (running front-to-back) and tower mills (running from back-to-front).
Post mills: topics covered include the machinery and construction methods/styles listed in 'Subject access points' below, with Suffolk examples given of each type. A list of Suffolk millwrights and Suffolk milling colloquialisms is included as well as a list of dates and inscriptions on Suffolk mills. Possible diagrams and illustrations are listed, with reference, 'to T.B.H. for drawings' [Thomas Hennell?]. Suggested photographs are listed (referencing the relevant photographer, where necessary). Sources used include 'H.O.'s notes' and 'Kenney's notes'.
Tower mills: the content includes notes on differing building materials (with Suffolk examples), giving the largest and smallest examples of each type. As with the post mills, examples of varying construction types of caps, sails and mechanisms are noted and a further list of Suffolk millwrights features, together with a list of dates/inscriptions. Tower mills with auxiliary power are also listed. A table of smock and tower mills in Suffolk, comparing their operational state (e.g. 'working', 'derelict', 'gone') in 1926 and 1939 also features.

A Grade II* listed windmill at Skidby near Beverley, in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Originally built in 1821, the mill was further extended to its current 5 stories in 1870. It is powered by 4 sails, 11 metres in length, and was in commercial use until 1966. Between 1954 and 1966 the mill was used for grinding animal feedstuff using newly installed electric rollers but also continued producing stoneground flour. The mill was sold to the local council in 1969 for £1 and after being renovated was opened in 1974 as a working museum. It is the last working English windmill north of the Humber, producing stoneground wholemeal flour from locally grown wheat. The mill is open to visitors.
