Sussex, UKMore information:
Halnaker Mill is a four storey tower mill with a sixteen sided beehive cap. The mill was originally hand winded, and later fitted with a Fantail, which was not replicated when the mill was restored. The four Common Sails were originally carried on a wooden windshaft, which was damaged by the lightning strike in 1905. A cast iron windshaft and wooden Brake Wheel from a wind saw mill at Punnetts Town were fitted. The windshaft is cast in two pieces, bolted together and was too short for Halnaker Mill. Neve's inserted a spacer to lengthen it. The mill worked two pairs of overdrift millstones
