Notes and comments:

A windmill was used for pumping water by Portland Water Authority at the Verne Prison Citadel. In July 1914, records^[1] show the details of the erection of a windmill pump at the Verne Citadel & arguments in favour. Less than a year later in February 1915, there are records of new parts being fitted and adjustments made. The lifespan of this windpump is not known.
