Description
The windmill on Westwood Marshes is a late 18th-century tower mill that was formerly used for drainage and is now disused. Its external appearance was restored in the early 1950s after it was badly damaged by fire in 1960. The structure has a ground floor and two additional floors, built from red brick with a rendered band on the lower part, against which a wheel attached to the tailpole once ran. Although the boat-shaped cap and four common sails are now missing, remnants of the tailpole assembly can still be seen. The machinery includes a wooden upright shaft, crownwheel, pitwheel, and an external cast iron scoopwheel. This windmill is an important landscape feature and is one of only two remaining drainage mills on the east Suffolk marshes, the other being located at Reydon.
