| AdminHistory | Coseley windmill was built around 1780 and the miller is listed as Joseph Maullin in the "Jurers' Book of 1784". The mill stayed in the Maullin family for several generations. Around 1829, the mill was taken over by W. King, who was the miller until 1841; it then passed to T. King, who worked it until it passed out of the family in 1871. It ceased to be a mill in the 1880s and had lost its sails by 1890. The machinery had been removed by 1895, and it was converted into a house. Some time later (date unknown), the short tower had a two storey extension added and the cap replaced with a low four-sided slate roof and a chimney stack. |
