Dale Windmill

On the north side of Dale the unusual squat sloping sided circular tower, with thick stone walls, was a working mill during the 19th century.

Oral stories suggest that a man who was blinded during the Napoleonic Wars supervised the rebuilding and may have adapted the design from continental windmills. Listed in 1997, it is now in the process of being restored. Several millstones remain, some consisting of French burrstone, a tough limestone traditionally favoured for millstones.
