This windmill is one of Warwickshire's most famous landmarks, standing on a hilltop overlooking the village of Chesterton for nearly 350 years, near the Roman Fosse Way and about five miles (8 km) south-east of Warwick. It was built in 1632-1633, probably by Sir Edward Peyto, who was Lord of the Chesterton Manor House. At this time John Stone, a pupil of Inigo Jones, was in Chesterton, designing the new Manor House, and he probably helped with the Windmill as well. Sir Edward was a mathematician and astrologer and probably his own architect to the windmill, but although claims have been made that the tower was originally built as an observatory, the estate accounts now at Warwick Record Office show that it has always been a windmill,[2] making it the earliest tower mill in England to retain any of its working parts.

Kinderdijk windmills: unique & iconic water management
A significant part of Holland is situated up to approximately 7 meters below sea level. The Dutch don’t notice any of this though, because an incredibly innovative and intricate system keeps the ever-rising seawater from flooding the land. Even during spring tide, the Dutch are safely guarded from being washed away.
The most important aspect of UNESCO World Heritage Kinderdijk is undoubtedly the unique collection of 19 authentic windmills, which are considered a Dutch icon.
Windmill located in Gruene Texas. Gruene is now a district within the city limits of New Braunfels, and much of it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places

A 10 minute walk brings me to this wonderful windmill restored to full glory by The Holgate Windmill Preservation Society.
It is believed that this Smock Mill was erected on Beacon Hill in 1802 as the carved initials TB, 1802, standing for Thomas Beard, the owner, are to be seen on one of the original internal timbers. Further evidence of the date comes from the Sussex Weekly Advertiser of the 7th June 1802, which states that a human skeleton was discovered by workmen digging for the foundations of the windmill.
The Mill ground the corn of the village and supplied flour to the local bakers until it ceased to function in 1881. After this time it became progressively dilapidated and the village was in danger of losing their mill.

I wasn't happy with the rather bland sky in the original of this shot so I've added some texture layers then gone for a timeless look in the processing
Cley windmill іs а five storey tower mill wіth а stage аt second floor level, twenty feet above ground. Іt has а dome shaped cap wіth а gallery whіch wаs winded by аn eight-bladed fantail, ten feet six inches іn diameter. The cap іs nоw fixed аnd unable tо turn tо wind. There аre four double Patent sails wіth а span оf 70 ft, carried оn stocks 56ft long. The inner pair hаve eight bays оf three shutters аnd the outer pair hаve nine bays оf twо shutters аnd оne оf three shutters. Іn 1819 the sails powered twо pairs оf French burr millstones, а flour mill аnd jumper but by 1876 thіs hаd been increased tо 3 pairs оf stones аnd а smut machine hаd been added.
Cley windmill wаs built іn the early 19th century. Іt wаs nоt marked оn William Faden’s map оf Norfolk published іn 1797. The fіrst mention wаs аn advert іn the Norfolk Chronicle оf 26 June 1819, where the mill wаs fоr sale, described аs “newly erected” аnd іn the ownership оf the Farthing family. The mill wаs nоt sold аnd remained the property оf the Farthing family, until 1875, when Dorothy Farthing, the then owner, died. The mill wаs bought by the miller, Stephen Barnabas Burroughes. Іt wаs worked by the Burroughes family until c1912, when the business wаs transferred tо theіr windmill аt Holt.

I don't find the typical Dutch windmills all that interesting to photograph, but when I was at the Twiske area and saw this bridge just after sunset, I couldn't resist.
Sadly, this view is now totally different as the top part of the windmill was ripped off during a whirlwind recently.
This windmill can be found at Weybourne on the north Norfolk coast.
This shot was taken at the weekend with my friends saxonfenken, lesley60 and ~Rod~.
