Hough's Windmill - Waverley
Hough's windmill stood in Waverley until 1891 and ground the wheat for flour to make the humble bread of the early pioneers of the area and their neighbours. We trace the request of the present owner for a history of her family's new home in Denison Street, Waverley.
HENRY HOUGH (1804-1880) millwright and farmer. Owner of Hope Farm in Waverley where he built a windmill for grinding wheat and other cereal products. These gave their names to Mill Hill Road, Hough Street, and Hope Street, Bondi Junction. The mill was a familiar and picturesque landmark until it was demolished the year after Hough's death. |
