Green's Mill, Sneinton

This great velocity carries round the stones , which are sixteen feet in circumference, 162 times in a minute, and they grind a load of ten sacks of wheat in two or three hours.

I went through this fine mill, and really felt terrified at the centrifugal force of such heavy masses as the stones, the peripheries of which were carried round with a determined velocity of forty miles an hour.

Of course, none but particular kinds of stone will bear such a momentum, and the smallest fracture or inequality occasions them to separate with destructive consequences.

In 1919 the mill was bought by Oliver Hind, a local solicitor, who in 1923 fitted a copper cap at the top to again make the building watertight.

At the same time, No 3, Green's Gardens was restored from near dereliction by the Nottingham Buildings Preservations Trust as a residence for one of the Museum staff.

The movement of the Earth's atmosphere across the massive external sails causes them to rotate, which in turn spins the wooden drive shaft internal to the building.

Green's windmill appeared in an episode of television crime drama Boon titled The Eyes of Texas which was filmed in 1989.
