John Greenwood’s map of Derbyshire of 1830 (extract attached) reveals the presence of George Wilson’s windmill, not identified on other maps, on the west side of Rotherham Road, at Beighton Hill. The map evidence corresponds with the appearance in a local newspaper in 1827 of a Notice of Sale of a close of land near Eckington, called the Churchfield or Windmill Close, occupied by Mr. George Wilson, “whereon a windmill and cottage are erected”.
