Green's Windmill in Sneinton was built by the father of notable scientist and mathematician George Green in 1807. Today the working Mill is a popular museum and science centre, which teaches new generations of children about the valuable work of George Green.
Sadly, the mill was badly damaged by a fire in 1947, but was later restored by Nottingham City Council in the 1980's. The windmill began milling again in December 1986 and the giant sails can still be seen working to this day.
George Green was a mathematical genius who developed new ways of doing mathematics, which have helped scientists to understand the world around us. Test your brain power with the hands-on experiments in the Science Centre which explore electricity, magnetism and light, ideal for young children.
FREE entry.

* Please note that major repair work to the windmill has now begun and as a result the windmill building itself is not currently accessible. This will be the case until the work is finished which is estimated to be November 2026.
The science centre, mill shop and community garden continue to remain open for visits as per the usual opening times; Wednesday to Sunday 10am-4pm. Entry is still free. All of the information about the repairs can be found on Green's Windmill's website.
