Chillenden Mill Lightning
Chillenden

After a prolonged summer heatwave came a fabulous and refreshing storm. Lightning over Chillenden Mill and the fields of barley. (no crop was damaged in the taking of this picture as I only stood in the tramlines, made by the tractor).

Chillenden windmill is a grade II* listed open-trestle post mill north of Chillenden, Kent, England. It is the last post mill built in Kent.

Chillenden windmill is a white open-trestle post mill with four spring sails carried on a cast-iron windshaft. The windshaft carries a cast-iron brake wheel with a wooden rim. The brake wheel has fifty wooden cogs, driving a cast-iron wallower on a cast-iron upright shaft. This carries a cast-iron great spur wheel which drives two pairs of underdrift millstones in the head of the mill. The mill formerly had a maize kibbler, but this was removed when the mill was restored in 1958. The mill is winded by a tailpole.

Also available as a greetings card.
