Over Windmill-01
Over Windmill in Cambridgeshire.The building was derelict in 1950. It was purchased in 1960 for £100 by Graham Chris Wilson, who fitted a pair of patent sails and a pair of stones from the derelict mill at Upwell, enabling the mill to work again in October 1969. It has been restored since and is worked by its owner, who also rebuilt the cap, the brake-wheel and most of the internal timberwork. It is now operated with two double shuttered and two single shuttered patent clockwise sails with leading boards.
