This Tower mill was built in
1805, on what is now Lytham Green, the Windmill is a prominent landmark that everyone sees when they
visit Lytham.
One of several mills on the Fylde, Lytham Mill
was worked until 1919 when a fire destroyed most of the machinery. It has been
rebuilt and renovated several times since.
The Mill now houses a permanent exhibition of
the history of the Mill and of Bread-making, tableaux of Lytham life during the
last 100 years, various memorabilia and models.
