The windmill, for which this house was named after was built in 1847. The "Windmill" Public House was serving in 1874 as a direct result of the
large numbers of migrant workers arriving in the area with the expansion of
the Cement industry. Although further research says it's name if nothing
else goes back to 1861.
As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will
be shown here.
Thanks for your co-operation.

Petty sessions, Monday.
This was a general annual licensing meeting. There were five
applications for new licences, namely, Mrs. Fannie Walter, of the
"Fountain," East Peckham, supported by Mr. Langham, Uckfield, and
opposed by Mr. C. Hoare, of Maidstone.
Thomas Kemsley, of the "Walnut Tree," Aylesford, supported by Mr. E.
Hoare, and opposed by Mr. J. Monckton, of Maidstone.
George Butler, of the "Red Bull," Bull Lane, Aylesford, supported by Mr.
R. Prall, of Rochester, and opposed by Mr. Monckton.
Ann Brooker, of the "Windmill," Burham, supported by Mr. Prall and
opposed by Mr. Monckton.
Thomas Barton, of the "Prince of Orange," High Street, West Malling,
supported by Mr. Monckton and opposed by Mr. Hoar.
The licence was granted to Mrs. Walter, who, it appeared, had applied 16
times, and the others were refused.
