Residents can get the chance to explore one of Havering’s historical buildings.

Upminster Windmill in St Mary’s Lane will be opening its doors for an open day on Saturday August 18 and Sunday August 19 from 2pm to 5pm.

The grade two listed building was built by James Nokes, a farmer in 1803.

It is considered to be one of the very best remaining English smock mills.

Visitors are urged to wear sensible clothing and shoes.
