Green's Windmill
About
Green's Windmill, located in the heart of Sneinton in Nottingham, is a stunning example of a 19th‑century tower mill that still operates entirely on wind power. Since its restoration between 1984 and 1986 it has become an engaging science centre where visitors can explore the history of grain milling, experiment with light, electricity and magnetism, and learn about the pioneering mathematician George Green—who once owned the mill and inspired his famous theorem. The windmill’s original sails, cap, and inner machinery remain fully functional, offering a rare glimpse into historic technology. Whether you’re a curious family, a history enthusiast, or a science lover, the museum’s interactive exhibits and live demonstrations provide a memorable, educational adventure for all ages.
