Damside Windmill (also known as Pilling Windmill and The Old Mill) is a tower windmill in the English village of Pilling, Lancashire.[1] It was built in 1808 by Ralph Slater, builder of similar structures in the area, such as Marsh Mill. An earlier mill was marked here on Yates's 1786 map of Lancashire.[2]
The mill converted to steam power in 1870,[2] and the sails were removed in 1887. It continued to operate until the 1920s,[2] after which it fell into disrepair. By 1975, the mill had been restored for use as a private residence. The top of the windmill was restored with a traditional wooden cap in 2007, restoring it to its original height of .[3]
Inventor Richard Gornall worked out of a barn attached to the mill in the late 19th century.[4]
