Description: This mill was once owned by the father of George Green, the famous Nottingham mathematician. The mill was built in c 1807 and was latter added to with a fine house for the Green family. The mill passed into the ownership of George Green on his father's death in 1928, but in 1933 George let the mill out and went to study at Caius College in Cambridge. He went on to become a Fellow of his college and write scientific papers on such subjects as wave motion, the behaviour of light, crystal structure and the elasticity of materials. George Green's died in Sneinton in 1841 and is buried in the churchyard of St Stephen's, close by his windmill. The mill was abandoned in 1947 after a fire broke out and destroyed sections of the structure. In the 1970's and 1980's, Nottingham University raised funds to have the mill restored and a science centre was built around the mill yard to tell the story of George Green and his mill.
