Notes

edit

Mills in bold are still standing, known building dates are indicated in bold. Text in italics denotes indicates that the information is not confirmed, but is likely to be the case stated.

Bexleyheath

May Place Mill, listed in Watermills and Windmills under Bexleyheath, actually stood just within Crayford, and has an entry at the List of windmills in Kent.

Finsbury Fields

The last of the Finsbury Fields windmills was demolished c. 1750 to make way for St Luke's Hospital for the Clergy.[1]

Millwall

Three mills were standing in 1835, two in 1845. The last mill standing was the smock mill, as detailed above.
