The Enfield windmill, a smock mill, was operated for many generations by
the Robinson family. The mill existed by 1720, and Joseph Robinson was
miller in 1826, followed by his son Isaac in 1845, and another son Benjamin
in 1867. By 1896 the Ordnance survey map noted the mill was disused, and in
1901 the sails were removed, before the mill was demolished in 1904. Towards
the end of this period, another Isaac Robinson is listed as miller.
The mill stood on Old Park Road, towards the top of Windmill Hill, nearby to
the Church of st Mary Magdalene.
The mill is remembered by the current road names of Windmill Hill and Millers
Green Close.
