Prof. Gregor Tanner will begin by sharing what we know about Green’s life, his scientific interests, and how he developed the equations that now bear his name. Following Prof. Tanner, Sam Boote from the Green’s Windmill Trust will delve into the fascinating history of the mill, one of Nottingham’s major landmarks. Learn how it was built in the early-19th century, its role during its working years, and the building’s incredible journey from near demolition to full restoration.
