Green's Windmill
Green’s Windmill is a restored and working 19th century tower windmill in Sneinton, Nottingham. The Mill was built shortly after 1807 by the father of 19th century by mathematical physicist George Green. In 1829 his father died and George Green inherited the mill and operated it until his death in 1841. The mill was still in use until the 1860s, after which is was abandoned and gradually fell into disrepair. In 1923 a copper cap was fitted at the top to make the building watertight and this survived until a fire destroyed it in 1947.

The mill was derelict until it was acquired by Nottingham City Council in 1979. Funds were raised and it was renovated by Thompson’s, millwrights of Alford, Lincolnshire in 1984 – 86. It was reopened on 2 December 1986 and is now part of a science centre which is open to the public. At the same time, No 3, Green’s Gardens was restored from near dereliction by the Nottingham Buildings Preservations Trust as a residence for one of the Museum staff.
