A view of Duncton post windmill which stood on Clayton Hill, just north of Brighton. The mill ceased work around the 1850s, when it was joined and subsequently superseded by a newer post mill. Its owner, James Mitchell, purchased John Lashmar's 'new' Hove Mill and had it moved from its original site at Belmont on the Dyke Road. The base of Duncton Mill still survives at the base of Mr Mitchell's tower mill. These days the mills on Clayton Hill are better known as Jack (Tower) and Jill (Post) mills. The surviving roundhouse of Duncton Mill can be seen at the foot of Jack Tower Mill in Alfred Fitzwalter Grace's 'Clayton Mills, West Sussex', 1886, also in the collection of Brighton and Hove Museums.
