In the 19th century the flour mills in Vejer were water driven. The best known is located in the Santa Lucía area of Vejer. Windmills were constructed on the ridge which were able to withstand the strong easterly gusts. The four windmills that remain in the San Miguel district on the edge of the village were built in the 1960s and have since been restored.
Lytham Windmill is situated on Lytham Green in the coastal town of Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, England. It is of the type known as a tower mill and was designed for grinding wheat and oats to make flour or bran. The mill was built on Lytham marshes around 1805 on land leased by the local landowner and squire to miller Richard Cookson. Wikipedia The building to the right of the windmill was formerly the lifeboat station and was opened in 1863.

Windmill or no windmill, he said, life would go on as it had always gone on--that is, badly.

"Bidston Windmill" Decided to pay the windmill a visit today, just checking it out for my Lighthouse and windmill photoshoot in 2 weeks time. Loaded up with my new Nisi V5 Pro holder and Haida Grads and NDs i shot this image, waited 20 minutes for the sun to come out for a brief amount of time, F/11@ 60 seconds Haida 0.9 Soft ND Grad and a 10 stop Haida ND, note for all you blue colour cast haters, this is straight out of the camera.
"With dull overcast skies rain and people walking into my shots, i was lucky to even get this today, its a 90 minute drive to here and i needed to check it out for future sunrise/sunset shots, I've done my postcard treatment to take some distractions out.
History of the Mill
Windmills have featured in Lytham’s history for hundreds of years. In 1805 Richard Cookson sought and obtained a lease from the Squire for a plot of land on which to build a ‘windy milne’. Later, in 1860, when the prestigious houses in the area were being built the residents looked upon the Windmill as an “industrial nuisance”! On the 2nd January 1919, a tremendous gale turned the sales despite the powerful brake and sparks ignited the woodwork. The Windmill was quickly ravaged by fire, the interior being entirely gutted. The Windmill remained derelict until 1921, when it was given by the Squire to the Lytham Urban District Council. In 1989, the Windmill was restored by Fylde Borough Council and opened to the public. Lytham Windmill is run in partnership with Fylde Borough Council and Lytham Heritage Group.

Broad verges backed by banks,
Of mature Oak and Beech,
Race down Warwickshire,
Through the verdure of the country,
Stratford upon Avon and Shakespear,
The breathtaking castles of Kenilworth and Warwick,
Or and hour, quiet and peaceful, at the Bancroft Basin,
Live forever as the Chesterton Windmill turns the time.
