In two decades the Trust has installed floors, doors, windows, machinery and a cap with fantail. The 10 foot (3m) brake wheel took our volunteers a year to make and was installed in 2012. Another year long project was the wallower that meshes with the brake wheel, it was installed in 2014.

Unique among windmills, Hough Mill has an adjacent railway room featuring Robert Stephenson's 1832 Leicester and Swannington Railway. Next to the mill is the Gorse Field, site of coal mining for over 800 years with many bell pit depressions and a replica gin pit. Also the Califat Spinney from the time of the Crimean War where the engine house and boiler house walls have been stabilised as part of an ongoing excavation.
