Windmill plaque da Pgd

"The Windmill - Wandsworth Common This is all that remains of a smock mill constructed in the 1830s by the London and South Western Railway Company to pump water from the cutting into a nearby lake known as the Black Sea. William Wilson, the founder of Prices Patent Candle Company, created a garden around the lake as part of his estate. The windmill stopped working in 1870 when the lake was filled in. This sign was put here to mark the 20th anniversary of the Wandsworth Society, 1991"
