GREENS WINDMILL AND SCIENCE CENTRE

Green's Mill, the 1807 residence of mathematician and physicist George Green (1793-1841), burned to the ground in 1947 and had to be reconstructed in the 1980s. It is one of the places to see in Nottingham that has been restored to its former glory and now offers a fascinating four-story look at the flour-making method.

Green's Mill in Sneinton is one of the places to go in Nottingham which is a tower windmill that dates back to the 19th century and has been restored to its functional condition. It was founded and run for a time by George Green (1793-1841), a mathematical physicist and one of the most impressive scientists of the early 19th century. If you want to witness a real windmill in action and buy some of the best organic flour in the country, you should pay him a visit. You may learn about George Green's incredible life and career in the mill's adjacent Science Centre, and even try your hand at some of the light, electricity, and magnetism experiments that so captivated him. After George Green died in 1841, the mill was leased by his family to Mr. Fletcher, and then by him to William Oakland. When steam-powered roller mills entered the market in the 1860s, they eventually caused the tower mill to shut down. The sails were taken down, the mill was left unattended, and it steadily deteriorated. Due to rust, the wooden roof collapsed, sending the fantail crashing through a neighbouring cottage; the damage was eventually repaired completely.
