I'd love the challenge of living in a windmill. I think I'd end up restoring it though? Imagine those big sails reinstated. Fantastic!

I think it was situated where (upper) Woodstock Gardens are. Between Silvester and Benledi Streets.
Demolished late 40's.
Sadly, no pics. Cameras were a luxury item in those days.
I think it lasted much later than the 40s, see the above pics (post 83)

Interesting map!
The Church along from St. Anthonys marked 'St Martins' must be the site where the Derby Cinema was later situated.
Just south of St Anthonys is another Church in Oxford Street (later renamed Silvester St) This ,was war damaged, and nicknamed the 'Black' Church it's real tltle was St Martins in the Fields.
