Surrey windmill photos from the 1940's - 60's 🌍

The black and white photos on these pages were taken throughout the 1940's, 50's and 60's by T C Vickers (1903-1973) - an amateur photographer with a passion for windmills. They are presented here thanks to the generosity of the photographer's stepson, William Stratton. Where no explicit year is given, the photos are believed to be from the 1960's.

Where available, I have included a more recent photo of my own of the same mill, though unfortunately a number of the mills illustrated have been destroyed in the subsequent decades.
