Full Description

JOHN BOOKERS SURVEY 04/08/1971
Roundhouse of former post windmill. Fred G.Smith & Son, bakers and confectioners. Thoroughly modernised roundhouse, rendered, brick porch, large windows, etc. Identifiable only for what it was by overall shape and proportions, and the fact that this is the known site of a windmill. Interesting association still with baking trade. Two millstones are set in the wall of house at entrance to mill yard: one bears ironwork by Bryan Corcoran, 31 Mark Lane, London.

Present Use: Part of bakers premises
Condition: very good – very much altered
