There it blows, wind from the NNE. Cap turned into the wind, by millwright and millers hands. Brake released, a gentle nudge, as it catches the very gentle force 6-7 . That's it for this annual celebration! Brixton Windmill #nationalmillsweekend
This weekend is #NationalMillsWeekend
The first record of a mill at Worsbrough was in the Domesday book of 1086 which was created as a detailed survey of the land by the Normans who had invaded 20 years before at Hastings.

Ironic really that we are demolishing an iconic Dundee mill on #NationalMillsWeekend
Can't help but feel sad - so many Dundee people have an association with this place - neglected and left to rot.

Two of our restored mills have had new bat boxes installed on to them giving the ageing drainage mills a brand new purpose, a home for bats!
Very fitting for this year's #NationalMillsWeekend theme of #Newlifeforoldmills
