From 1856, an octagonal smock mill (mound mill) stood on the Lichtenvoordsestraatweg in Barlo, which in the twentieth century grew into a milling facility and compound feed business owned by the Grevink family. The mill was dismantled in 1944 and was ultimately lost to fire in 1986. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1853, voices were raised in Barlo suggesting that a mill should also be established in this rural district. Initially, a water-powered mill was considered. However, research revealed that the Zilverbeek did not provide sufficient water flow per hour. Consequently, a windmill was built in 1856, located a few hundred meters further north. It was an octagonal smock mill, specifically a mound mill type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The method of propulsion consistently kept pace with the times. From 1887, the mill was powered by a steam engine, which made way for a gas engine in 1925. When electricity became available in Barlo in 1934, the electric motor proved to be a significant asset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last miller was J.W.F. Grevink<\/a> \u2014 secretly nicknamed Jan Willem Fluweel. As early as 1928, he opened a bakery and grocery store next to the mill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mill had already been dismantled by 1944. Without its sails, the fire insurance premium was lower. In the early morning of March 29, 1986, a fire broke out that put a permanent end to this mill. Prompt intervention by the fire department prevented an adjacent pig barn from being lost to the flames. The cause of the fire remains unknown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
