Internal scoop wheel missing, pit in filled windshaft, brakewheel, crownwheel, upright shaft, great spur wheel intact.

E. Rose (NLA), 21 June 1994.
(S4) implies the mill was built in 1865 and has a mention of the mill being wrecked in 1937. Presumably this only means the sails were blown off, or something similar.
