Sibsey Trader Windmill is a five-sailed brick-built tower mill located near Boston in Lincolnshire, dating to 1877. The mill represents a late example of nineteenth-century wind-powered grain milling technology and stands as a particularly well-preserved instance of Victorian industrial architecture. Constructed with a cylindrical brick tower and topped with a rotating cap, the mill retains much of its original machinery and structural integrity. The building exemplifies the engineering innovations of the late industrial period and remains a significant record of Lincolnshire's milling heritage.
