High Salvington post mill, Furze Road, Worthing

Previously known as Durrington Mill this Grade II Listed post mill is described in the listing as having a fantail but no evidence exists to support this. The earliest written record of a mill in this location is in 1615 but the current mill was built around 1750. The windmill ground flour until 1897 and continued grinding animal feed until 1905. In 1907 the roundhouse was replaced with a concrete tea-room surviving well into the 1950s. Under the care of Worthing Borough Council who bought it for £2,250 in 1959 the mill was renovated in 1961. In 1965 the cottage and outbuildings were demolished. Gale damage in 1976 resulted in the formation of the High Salvington Mill Trust and a program to fully restore the mill. The new 58ft (17.6m) diameter sails were installed in 1987-8 and the new roundhouse built in 1990 before the mill started grinding flour again in 1991. In 1998 a split was discovered in one of the stocks and a new one was made and the sails refitted.
