HEAGE WINDMILL

Heage Windmill, Heage, Derbyshire UK

 

A little excursion to do something a little different. Here's one from my trip today to Heage Windmill.

 

Who would of thought that hundreds of years ago, the science of "Airfoil Technologies" was being developed on the ground.

 

This is a six sail mill - an unusual thing in itself and comes complete with it's own shuttering system - the prior technology was cloth sails that had to be battened during strong winds.

 

An interesting place and a lovely walk amongst some of Derbyshire's wonderful rolling countryside.
