Description: | DATED W.E.R 1828, THIS SMALL MILL WORKED BY WIND UNTIL ABOUT 1923, AND THEN CONTINUED BY ENGINE WITH THE CAP REMOVED AND A SIMPLE FLAT ROOF ON THE CURB. IN THIS FORM IT WORKED UNTIL THE 1950S, OR EVEN INTO THE 1960S, AND MAY PRODUCED FLOUR FOR THE ASSOCIATED BAKERY UNITL QUITE LATE. IT IS NOW DISUSED. WHEN THE SAILS WERE REMOVED THE STOCKS WERE MADE INTO FOUR LARGE GATE POSTS TO THE MILL YARD WHICH STILL SURVIVE. MANY OF THE FLOOR BEAMS AND JOISTS APPEAR TO BE REUSED. ALL THE FLOORS ARE NOW RUINOUS ALTHOUGH THE MACHINERY HAS REMAINED IN GOOD CONDITION. {1}{2)(3) | Subjects: | Building Windmills | Temporal: | 1828 - 2050 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
