This is the Stone Floor of Jill Windmill in the South Downs National Park, Sussex, UK.
The Stone floor is the middle floor of the rotating part of the mill, between the upper Bin and lower Spout floor.
The front millstones are Derbyshire peak stones, used mainly for maize, barley and oats. The rear millstones are French burr stone, constructed from segments of freshwater quartz, used mainly for wheat. The top millstone, weighing around three-quarters of a ton, rotates at 120 revolutions per minute.
