Talk:Post mill

The term peg mill is also used to describe early or simple mills of this type.

"Peg Mill" as a term is confined to Lancashire and Cheshire. Is this really notable enough to be included in the article (especially in the first few lines) - which covers a mill type found across much of Europe and North America? (I'm thinking of the term "stob mill", for example, which is the Yorkshire / Northumberland equivalent, to give just one alternative)Ghughesarch 12:29, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Strong oppose - Only half of the Trestle (mill) article is relevant to Post Mills. Trestle Mills are a variation of the smock mill. Mjroots (talk) 08:07, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Couldn't explain this fully in the edit summary. English uses the Dutch spelling of Paltrok. Paltrock is the German spelling. Also, altering the spelling breaks the section link of the Paltrok mill redirect. Mjroots (talk) 19:05, 19 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Changed the English "translation" of Pfalzrock. The word Pfalz is much older than the name of the West German province: a Pfalz, as for example the Kaiserpfalz in Goslar, was originally a palisaded settlement. This strikes me as more analogical to the ring around the paltrock mill. —Wegesrand (talk) 12:15, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
