Windmill. c.1805; in use until damaged by fire in 1918; restored 1987. Tower mill. Brick, rendered and painted white, with plinth of rendered cobble walling, wooden cap and sails.

Conical four-stage tower, the first stage enclosed by a wide plinth (which is a former protective wall subsequently roofed over and used for loading); doorway in south side of second stage, with access from rectangular deck on plinth, approached by steps up that side; one segmental-headed window above this doorway and three similar windows vertically aligned on the south-west and north-east sides; S-shaped tie-plates. Boat-shaped clinker-built wooden cap (now fixed) with fantail; restored wooden sails facing south-west.

Very prominent and well-known local landmark dominating the grassed sea-front area known as Lytham Green, and one of the few windmills surviving in the Fylde of Lancashire.

Forms group with the Old Lifeboat House immediately to the south (q.v.).
