Green's Windmill
A 19th-century mill in Sneinton, east of the city, where mathematician George Green worked; the restored windmill grinds flour on site.
Green's Windmill was built in 1807. It is associated with George Green, a self-taught mathematician and physicist who was the son of a miller. The Green's function he introduced is still used in electromagnetism and quantum physics. The restored windmill still turns and grinds flour, which is sold on site. The small science centre beside it has interactive exhibits on Green's contributions. Entry is free (donations welcome), and the mill opens only on certain days. It stands on a small hill about 1.5 km east of the city centre and offers views over the city.
