EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic High Salvington Windmill in all its glory during the early 20th century. Standing proudly against a picturesque backdrop, this historic mill has been an integral part of West Sussex's landscape since the 1740s. The photograph captures a significant moment in the windmill's history, as it features the concrete roundhouse that replaced the original wooden structure around 1922. This innovative addition served a dual purpose, functioning not only as a tearoom but also adding to the mill's charm and character. However, in 1990, a decision was made to restore High Salvington Windmill to its authentic appearance. As such, the concrete roundhouse was replaced by a carefully crafted wooden structure that faithfully recreated its original design. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Additional Manuscript Collection under reference number AM 507/1/51, this remarkable image offers us a glimpse into both architectural evolution and historical preservation efforts. High Salvington Windmill stands as an enduring symbol of West Sussex's rich heritage and serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout centuries. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate visitors from near and far who appreciate its significance in shaping local history
