White Mill Rural Heritage Centre

White Mill Rural Heritage Centre The White Mill is open all on Tuesday and Friday 10am-12pm and the 1st Sunday of the month from April to September. Windmill; Restored between 1960 - 1981.

White Mill is a smock mill west of Sandwich, Kent, England that was built in 1760. The mill has been restored and is open to the public. The White Mill was built in 1760 and still has most of its original wooden machinery. The Engine House, restored in 1995, contains a Lister petrol engine which can be used to drive a Plate Mill to grind corn into flour. The Miller's Cottage, built in the 1830's,

and outbuildings are a rare survival of a complete milling site. Run for almost 100 years by the Stanley family, the windmill was supplying flour and animal food throughout the Victorian era, and worked on until 1957. The Museum is housed in the Miller's Cottage and other buildings surrounding the mill. There are exhibits of Farming and Craft tools, Kitchen & Laundry equipment, plus a complete Wheelwright's workshop and a Blacksmith's workshop complete with forge. Photographs show Victorian Farm workers and local people 100 years ago and there are many displays of agricultural and other craft equipment.
