Windmill at Hinderwell

Hinderwell Windmill, a Valentines postcard dating from about 1895. The chimney showing the mill machinery was operated by steam engine at this date. The sails redundant and later removed. the gates in the foreground are a level crossing across the Loftus Whitby Railway. Wendy Wharton asks: “Do we know what year the windmill was built and was it part of Holme Farm that was built in 1726?” Can anybody assist?
