The well known landmark has been popular with visitors since it was built in 1805. Inside the windmill there are exhibits showing the history of mills and milling and also a tableau of life in Victorian Lytham. From 1 April until 11 April the Grade II listed building will be open between 10.30am and 1pm and from 2pm to 4.30pm. The four-storey building did not originally have the white plinth upon which it appears to sit. That was added later to keep onlookers away from the sails after a boy grabbed one and then fell to his death. In its heyday, until fire forced closure in 1919, its millstones ground wheat and oats into flour, meal and bran. It was given to the people of Lytham in 1921 and Fylde Council carried out a refurbishment in 1987. It is run by Lytham Heritage Group.
