Haigh Windmill, the only remaining windmill in Greater Manchester, was built in 1845 and supplied well water to John Sumner & Company's Haigh Brewery which, until the 1950s, was situated behind the Balcarres Arms public house.
The disused windmill was restored in 2011 in a £60,000 scheme made possible by Heritage Lottery Funding.
The damaged brickwork was repaired and a broken and missing sail replaced.
