Barnet Gate Mill

[1] A claim that it was built during the Napoleonic Wars (c.1800) has not been substantiated.The work was done by Thomas Hunt, the Soham millwright.[2] The mill may have started life with two Common sails and two Spring sails carried on a wooden windshaft as the wooden clasp arm Brake Wheel has had to be fitted with packing pieces to enable it to fit the current windshaft, which being of iron is a smaller diameter than a wooden one would be.The Wallower is of cast iron, carried on a wooden upright shaft.This carries the Great Spur Wheel, which is of iron with wooden cogs and drove the two pairs of millstones underdrift.
