Summary
Windmill, presently unlocated, recorded at Frodsham Saltworks by Greenwood's map (1819).

Full Description
A desk-based assessment was undertaken in 1993 at the site of Frodsham Saltworks in advance of a residential development. This identified a windmill recorded at the site of the saltworks by the River Weaver on Greenwood's map of 1819. Also field names ('Tween Mills') on the Frodsham Tithe Award indicate the existance of a mill or mills in this location. It is suggested that this mill or mills could have been for drainage purposes rather than grinding of corn.
