Battersea Mill, Battersea, London, 1875: A Snapshot of Historical Engineering and Architecture This photograph, taken in 1875, showcases the picturesque Battersea Mill, also known as Fowlers Mill, situated in the heart of Battersea, London. The mill was built in the grounds of the partly demolished Bolingbroke House in 1788 by Thomas Fowler, following a design by Stephen Hooper. Initially, the mill operated through the power of the wind until 1825, when the windmill was dismantled, leaving behind the substructure. Despite the windmill's demise, the substructure continued to be used for milling as late as 1882. The mill's construction is a testament to the ingenuity of the past, with Thomas Fowler and Stephen Hooper combining their expertise to create this architectural marvel. The mill's design, which seamlessly blended into the surrounding landscape, was a sight to behold during the 18th and 19th centuries. The image captures the mill's grandeur, with its tall, conical tower and intricate detailing, standing proudly against the backdrop of the lush greenery and the tranquil waters of the nearby river. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of the Battersea Mill. This snapshot of the past not only showcases the beauty of the mill but also highlights the rich architectural and engineering heritage that London has to offer.
