The windmill at Ugthorpe has been converted into a house.
The windmill can be seen in a state of disrepair in 1954 although an earlier photo shows the sails intact.

Beacon / Peak Windmill, Ravenscar
Show on map
This mill is said to date from 1858, and unusually stands in a disused state rather than having been converted into a house.
I know Ravenscar is actually 30 miles from the Tees, but the site shall be taking a short holiday there for the next few days.

This windmill was built somewhere between 1861 and 1863 by George Burnett, the mill was 64ft tall with three storeys and had 4 sails which were apparently still in use until around 1915.
After this the mill fell into disuse and the upper stories were removed in 1960.

Coatham Windmill

Coatham windmill had four sails, and a photo of this does exist.
This location is behind Station Road and parts of a substantial sandstone wall are still present, although again it may be nothing to do with the windmill.
Redcar Windmill

Redcars windmill is shown in numerous etchings as having six sail, although they were gone by the time this photo was taken.
The area seen is between Fishermans Square and the Bus Station. A workshop with some large sandstone blocks remains athough whether this was part of the windmill or just an associated building I don’t know.
