Abstract:High Salvington Windmill at TQ 123067 ceased working full time on 15 September 1897 but produced small amounts of animal feed until 1905/6. The mill had been purchased by Colonel T.F. Wisden on 20 January 1887 and when he died, on 22 October 1904, his will ensured that the mill was to be kept in working order. It was inherited by Frederick Wisden who sold it, together with 20 acres of surrounding land, for £350, on 15 October 1906, to Alfred Charles Jackson who was to become a local councillor and later an Alderman. By the summer of 1907 the concrete and brick roundhouse had been constructed and was serving teas.
To this community in 1914 came Frank Redgrave Cripps "who was born in Liverpool Gardens in Worthing, left the town when he embarked on a career as an electrical engineer, and worked for an electrical traction company that installed the tramway systems in Liverpool, Dublin and other towns". By 1922 he was supplying many of the residents with electricity for lighting from a small generating plant powered by an American style windmill.
