Description:Turn the clock back a little more than a century and there were genuine windmills to see in Birmingham and not a Dutchman in sight. Perhaps the most famous of them stood in the unlikely location of Holloway Head, giving the area an unexpectedly rural look. It was known as Chapman’s windmill, after the Samuel Chapman who built it in the 1740s. The mill was used for grinding corn and in the 1770s Thomas Griffiths, the miller, was taking the sacks of flour across the town to his brother, who ran a baker’s shop in Hill Street.
