Heaton Windmill


The tower of Heaton Windmill is an iconic feature of Armstrong Park in Heaton. The windmill is thought to have been built in the 1700's for grinding corn for flour and meal for animal feed. It was in ruins by the mid 19th century; the doorway is sealed and the sails and top portion of the building are no longer there.The windmill is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
