Keston Windmill

Caption :- Off Heathfield Rd, Keston, BR2 6BF. Post mill. The circular brick ground floor encases hefty timber supports, one dated 1716. Sails posts remain, but no sails. It has two sets of stones and all main machinery, so enough to appreciate how it worked. Privately owned and on private land, the mill is open only infrequently, such as on Mills Day (May) and an Open House Day (September), when there are volunteer guides. Not photographable from the road.
