Reed Mill is a tower mill in Kingston, Kent, England.

History

"Reed mill" was built in the early nineteenth century. It was marked on the 1858-72 Ordnance Survey map. The mill was working until 28 March 1915 when it was tailwinded and the cap and sails were blown off. The fantail was inoperative at the time as a new gear was being cast for it. As it would have cost in excess of £300 to repair the mill was abandoned.cite book | first = William| last = Coles Finch| year = 1933| title = Watermills and Windmills| pages = p232| publisher = C W Daniel Company| location = London] It is now an empty tower, all machinery having been removed.

Description
