Monument record TR 26 SE 217 - for Old Mill (Preston nr. Wingham)
Summary
A smock mill built in 1778 for the processing of cereals. The mill continued to work with wind until the mill was damaged by a tail wind. The engines then took over full time milling until the late 1930's. The mill stood empty and derelict until it was pulled down in 1959. The remains of the Smock Mill exist.
