Fragments of one pair of sails and tail,mounted on cast-iron ring which is bolted into timber frame on top of brick tower,remain. Interior: central vertical pump rod and elements of timber structure remain. The timbers at the top of the tower are inscribed 'F.L. + M.N. 73', which when related to documentary evidence suggests a date of 1873. The pump drained the adjacent clay pipe and discharged water into a ditch several hundred yards away. Gregory R, East Yorkshire Windmills, 1985.
