English: Holland Windmill, Upholland, near to Orrell, Lancashire, Great Britain. An unusual cylindrical tower mill built in the 1750s on the ridge overlooking what is now Skelmersdale new town by the local engineer and inventor Richard Melling, as a test bed for various innovations he (or his employee, Edmund Lee, who held a related patent) had developed. It had eight sails and may have been the first windmill ever equipped with a fantail to turn the sails into the wind automatically. It was re-equipped a number of times before finally becoming derelict in the 1890s.
