Sibsey Trader Windmill was built in 1877 to replace an earlier post mill. In its day it was the ‘Rolls Royce’ of windmills, and one of the very last to be built in Lincolnshire. It has been described as “one of the finest mills in the country, with its slender tower and elaborate wrought iron balcony.”
It is one of the few six-sailed mills remaining in England. The mill was built in 1877 by local millwrights Saundersons of Louth, in a typical Lincolnshire style, to replace a small post mill. It is not exceptionally tall, containing only six floors above ground, and the height to the top of the cap is 74 feet 3 inches. The slenderness of the tower, and the flat landscape in which it stands, together create the impression that it is bigger than it actually is, and make the sails, already admittedly large, look enormous.
The first mill on the site, a post mill, was replaced in 1877 by the present six sailed tower mill. The tower mill was built by Saundersons of Louth, a firm of millwrights notable for their fine six sailed mills.
After the First World War, the mill was taken over by Tommy Ward, who ran the mill until his death in 1953. For most of his tenure at the mill, Tommy concentrated on producing animal feed as there was no profit in producing flour. An attempt to keep the business going failed two years later and the mill ceased to work. By then it had only four sails.
In the 1960’s it was earmarked by the then Ministry of Works as one of twelve windmills of national importance. In the early seventies, it and two other mills on the list were taken into the care of the Department of the Environment (successor to the Ministry of Works) and later that decade the restoration began.
Sibsey Trader Windmill is currently under the care of the English Heritage although the site is independently managed and run by Ian Ansell.

The Lisbon Trader, a general cargo ship from Monrovia Liberia, unloads a catamaran from it's deck, yacht in front was unloaded earlier. The ship is moored at Ogden Point docks in Victoria BC Canada. This is a common site here as boats usually made in Asia are delivered to local clients. I think part of the reason this is done is because the boats are probably cheaper to buy offshore. Follow the money...haha! People in the Zodiac inflatable boat at right boarded the catamaran to pilot to it's local destination.

We watched early one morning as this young girl arrived at a previously decided spot on the street, and set up her pitch, selling little clay pots containing I know not what. An older member of the family supplied her with the goods. Clearly, she didn't want to be there, sitting on the street at exhaust pipe level of every passing tuk-tuk. Sometimes she would attract arguments from other traders trying to muscle in, but she stuck to her guns. She was still there when we went back in the afternoon. Such is life.

A wander through Little India has you wondering whether you are in Delhi rather than Singapore.
Little India is a large Indian community and it's streets and life in them are a stark contrast to the clean and polished streets of Singapore itself.
It's teeming with activity, and the sights, sounds, smells and textures of Indian culture are everywhere. This is truly one of the most colourful neighbourhoods in Singapore and houses several spectacular temples and is bustling with shops and stalls selling everything from gold jewellery (which has to be seen to be believed), to Hindi music CDs, cheap clothing and souvenirs.
It is especially colourful during traditional festivals such as Deepavali – the start of the Hindu New Year. On this visit to Singapore, we explored Little India a few days prior to the festival but on the first day we drove around the outskirts in taxi one evening and it was an explosion of colour and light.
Life on the streets here is very different to that of Singapore as is evident by this shop trader and his store.
