Ashby's mill and windmill, Brixton Hill.

Built in 1826 and leased by the miller, John Ashby, it was in use, and managed by the same family, until 1934.

Later purchased by London County Council and opened as Windmill Gardens in 1962, it is located close to the Blenheim Gardens housing estates.

The residence is on the left and sheds are in the background.
