BIDSTON WINDMILL

Vyner Road North, Bidston,
Wirral CH43 7PY Directions

Since 1800

“Bidston Windmill is mentioned in an early manuscript dated 1609 and may have been there as early as 1596. In 1800, a new “tower mill” was built from brick to replace the peg mill. The windmill style features a top or ‘cap’ that can be rotated through 360°. On the back of the mill, a large wooden chain wheel was used to turn the roof slowly around, utilising a rack and gear system. There is a minimum height restriction of 1.06 m for access to the higher floors, and an adult must accompany children under 11 years old. In 1894, the windmill was restored by Mr. R. S. Hudson. It is now an educational resource, and you can enjoy the surrounding area.”
