Description: 'The Miller's House', situated at 87a, Forest Road West. The windmills that stood on the Forest ridge were nearly all post-mills, of wooden construction, comparatively easy to dismantle and cart to another site. Some were brought in from elsewhere, some were moved away, so the numbers could change over time. When the Forest ridge was made part of the allotted recreation ground by the 1845 Enclosure Act, all the windmills had to be removed, except the one only built of brick which was on the other side of the road on private land. At that time there were 13 mills on the ridge. 'Johnson's Mill' was bought by Jack Johnson in Gotham and moved to the Forest, by arrangement with the town council. He lived in a house on the south side of the road, west of the top of Waverley Street. (He was famous for taking his horse to sell at Mansfield Fair, and then buying it back when drunk for more than he sold it for. The horse had been clipped and smartened up so that he did not recognise it.) (information from www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk) See also NTGM007123
