Considering I had written off the light in this evening, this turned out pretty well.

Quainton Windmill (aka Banner Mill) is a historic windmill in the village of Quainton, Buckinghamshire, England.

The 70 ft (20m) six-storey brick tower mill, built 1830–32, is one of the most visible buildings in the village. It was derelict for most of the 20th century it has now been restored and can grind wheat into flour. The windmill was built by James Anstiss and it is still owned by the Anstiss family. It is the tallest windmill in Buckinghamshire.

The mill had a steam engine installed early in its working life. Until 1881, it was wind-driven, but milling came to an end in 1900. The building remained unused as a mill, without a cap or sails, until 1974, when the owner formed the Quainton Windmill Society, with the aim of restoring the windmill. The Society spent 23 years undertaking restoration work. In 1997, milling was re-established.

Cromer Windmill is Hertfordshire’s last remaining windmill. Through dendrochronology it’s been dated to 1681.

Standing on a mound, it was blown over c1860, then re-built in the 1920s before falling into disrepair. In 1964 an appeal was launched by locals to save the mill.

Hertfordshire Building Preservation Trust took on the task of restoring this Grade II listed building which ended with the refitting of fully operational sails in 1998. All work was finally completed in 2015.

Here's one of the long exposure shots that I took of the windmill. It's a bit of a shame that the sails don't move at the moment, that would have really made it.

I decided to leave these ones in colour. The welding glass still gives a colour cast but I quite like the look that it gives.

Dutch people are famous for their windmills, they just adapted them to a modern purpose.

I remember reading Don Quixote & his side kick Sancho Panza's escapades in school. The one where he fought against windmills, imagining them to be huge giants, is still fresh in my memory.

Zanse Schans, on the bank of river Zanse on a moody afternoon, brought a smile on us as we wondered about any windmills, that we still might be tilting.

See where this picture was taken. [?]

This is the only eight-sailed mill in England. The original mill on this site was built by Michael Hare in 1830. The eight sails and cap were brought by John Pocklington from Boston in 1892. The Kesteven County Council bought the mill in 1953 & subsequently restored it
