smock

Part of the illuminations, once described as "20ft plywood windmill, little more than a cunning disguise for a ventilation shaft". Originally built in Manchester Square in 1931, then moved to the promenade opposite Waterloo Road in 1963. Placed in storage in 2005.

Meadow View:

A custom built playhouse, square plan, like a post mill. According to the Nov 08 sales particulars of the house whose garden this is in, this is listed on the house deeds - however it did appear to have been removed by Spring 2009.

Fairy Windmill:

Originally stood alongside the Cliff Lift funicular railway. Comment on the Flickr postcard notes that this was built in 1909 by WJ Cooper (as part of the celebrations for the arrival of the Atlantic and Home Fleet) and was really an ornamental 'cover' for a water pumping station supplying 5 cottages on the seafront below. Was illuminated at some time.

I've also seen a picture of a very similar looking mock mill on the level, near the Kursaal. I suspect this was the same structure, relocated.
