Thorpeness Windmill is a Grade II listed post mill at Thorpeness Suffolk which was built in 1803 at Aldringham and moved to Thorpeness in 1923. Originally built as a corn mill it was converted to a water pumping mill when it was moved to Thorpeness. It pumped water to the House in the Clouds.
WIndmills are keeping our feet dry. These windmills are from 1740, the oldest windmill in Kinderdijk was build in 1560. All this time puming water untill they were replaced by more modern machines in the previous century. Now thay are a major tourist attraction. It was typical Dutch weather when I took this photo, cloudy and rain...
Always fun to see the Northern Lights. They weren't as strong as the last time they were visible here but there was almost no moonlight so the stars were able to shine, I naturally picked a windmill ... it is almost expected of me.

This unique 18th century flour mill stands on the "Isle of Wedmore", a ridge giving commanding views of Cheddar Gorge, the Somerset Levels and Brent Knoll. A windmill is mentioned on this site as far back as 1317. Although it last worked in 1927, the mill has been carefully restored.

Silly me - after I uploaded the lighthouse for Lisa, I realised that she said windmill. Here is a windmill Lisa. It is situated near Palling in Norfolk.

The Netherlands - windmills - water, all too typical... But this is what you can see on a sunday bicycle tour.
Nederland: windmolens, water, erg typisch allemaal, maar je komt het wel tegen op een zondagse fietstocht.
One of the two windmills in Skerries. I have been to Skerries many times since I moved to Swords nearby 41 years ago and never saw these mills before. When I went there this time they were closed so now I have a reason to return!
Information: The Mill complex comprises a watermill, 5-sail windmill, 4-sail windmill and associated mill races, mill pond and wetlands. The history of the mills can be traced to the 16th century. A bakery was also established on the site by 1840. All three mills have been restored to working order by F.Á.S. and Fingal County Council and are open to visitors throughout the year.
The mills in Skerries demonstrate an efficient and clean use of water and wind power and are a rare survival of 17th, 18th and 19th century industrial history. Indoors: Visitors can see how the watermill works and view exhibits of milling equipment; mill stones, elevators, shakers, blowers, winnowers. Bright and sunlit tea-rooms and a well stocked craft shop are located on the first floor of the four-storey watermill building. Outdoors: A mill race runs from the mill pond along the edge of the cornfield to turn the waterwheel. Dominating the landscape however, are the two windmills, the 5-sail Great Windmill of Skerries and the older thatched 4-sail mill.
