Windmill Wikipedia
Verticalaxle windmills were built, in small numbers, in Europe during the 18th and nineteenth centuries, for example Fowler''s Mill at Battersea in London, and Hooper''s Mill at Margate in Kent. These early modern examples seem not to have been directly influenced by the verticalaxle windmills of the medieval period, but to have been independent inventions by 18thcentury engineers.
