Watercolour by unknown artist, c.1820

Ashby's mIll and windmill, Brixton Hill.

Built in 1826 and leased by the miller, John Ashby, it was in use, and managed by the same family, until 1934.

Later purchased by London County Council and opened as Windmill Gardens in 1962, it is located close to the Blenheim Gardens housing estates.

The windmill is a familiar landmark and a much neglected monument to a lost age.
