Great Mill, Sheerness
Great Mill or Ride's Mill is a Grade II listed〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = English Heritage )〕 smock mill just off the High Street in Sheerness, Kent, England that was demolished in 1924, and now has a new smock tower built on it as residential accommodation.
==History==
Work on building the ''Great mill'' was started by the millwright Humphrey of Cranbrook in 1813. Owing to the nature of the ground the mill was built on it was necessary to lay deep foundations. Lack of funds meant that the mill was left as an unfinished base for a couple of years before Thomas Webb, who owned the Little Mill, bought the unfinished mill and financed its completion in 1816. A steam engine was added in 1889 as auxiliary power. The mill was worked by wind until 1905, when the sails and stage were removed. It worked by steam engine until 1918, and was demolished in 1924. The mill's brick base was left, serving as a corn store in the 1930s.
In 2006, planning permission was applied for, and granted, to convert the existing mill base into a flat, with a new smock tower built on the base containing another flat, and an extension containing a third flat. Construction started late in 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Windmill World )〕 The replica windmill will have a stage and dummy sails.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Windmill World )〕 The cap was lifted onto the mill tower late in 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Kent Messenger )〕 On 23 January 2008 a fire started in the mill tower. The fire was later declared not to have been a case of arson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Kent News )〕
