Notes and comments
An unpublished paper by Michael Way notes a total of 6 windmill sites in the Poole area. Whilst the four that appear above are certain, there is another suggested at Sterte and yet another at an unspecified location.
The Simmons index of mills held at the Science Museum contain references to the insurance records relating to the Butts Shore and "near Poole" mills (the latter has now been proved by the writer RC to relate to West Butts Shore).
