This is the stone-built windmill on the Breck, which was erected in 1765 and known as 'Breck Mill'. It replaced an earlier wooden mill which was shown on a map dated 1665. The villagers would buy their flour direct from the miller. The building became unsafe and was demolished in 1887. Mr George Peers, one time Chairman of the Wallasey Local Board, built a house called Millthwaite on the site. The house was subsequently replaced by Millthwaite Court Flats in Millthwaite Close.
