Windmills of Theddlethorpe
Theddlethorpe Mill in around the 1920s, a brick tower mill that was used for grinding corn.
There used to be an earlier corn-grinding smock mill in the village with a bakehouse. The later tower windmill also had steam power by the mid-1890s. It became disused by late 1928, later remaining on the site on Mill Lane without sails, until it was demolished in the 1960s

Brickyard Lane Windmill, used to pump water from the brickwork clay pits to the local drainage system. Only four clay pit windmills still survive in Britain today. It may have been similar to the one at Howden, East Yorkshire, or at the old Brick Yard at Lakeside Springs Caravan Park, Alford Road, Sutton on Sea.
