| Full description | Ifield Post Mill, near Crawley. Black post windmill. Houses next to it. Copy slide from an original photograph.
OS map Sussex III.7 for 1874 shows the location (TQ2537) is called "Ifield Mills" on Ifield Green (now Mill Lane, Ifield) and states that the mill was a flour mill.
Brunnarius, M “Windmills of Sussex” (1979) has a very short article on the Ifield windmill (p166-167). He describes it as a post mill, based on notes by H. E. S. Simmons held at Brighton Reference Library. Brunnarius states that the post mill was located at the site in Ifield between 1870 and 1899, when the wooden body structure was dismantled.
The derelict circular tower of the post mill was still shown on OS map TQ2537 NW for 1959.
