Öland is famous for its windmills which were built in the 19'th century. The landscape is very rocky, in consequence farming is mostly impossible. So Öland provided the mainland of sweden with the milling service. Later they also dragged stones for graves with their windmill power.
Bocking windmill which is Grade 1 listed was built around 1721 but moved to its current site in around 1830 as building development was shielding it from the wind. The windmill is an impressive site on the Braintree to Sudbury Road where its 60 feet sail span stands out against the horizon.Inside the mill still as has a lot of original equipment and some agricultural items of historic value. The friends of Bocking Windmill give it support and are committed to developing the site as a museum.

Windmill 'De Meeuw' ('Seagull') dates back to 1852.
De molen 'De Meeuw' stamt uit 1852. Het is een achtkante bovenkruier met stelling. De eerste eigenaar, Wilke Pathuis, was hier molenaar tot 1879. Van hem kocht Th. Grijpstra uit Oudebildtzijl de Meeuw, en verhuurde hem aan G. de Groot en aan B. Smit en aan J. M. Kok. In 1905 werd L. Groeneveld molenaar - eigenaar, en in 1918 H. Rijzinga die de molen in 1961 verkocht voor 2.000 gulden aan de gemeente Ezinge.
One of the most famous sights in the Netherlands: Kinderdijk. I finally found an opportunity to visit the polder myself on a hot and sunny day.
The windmills were used to pump water out of the polder, but this function is replaced by a diesel-powered pump. Luckily, they kept the windmills around for us to admire.

This information was on a sign by the entrance:
This Windmill is over 600 feet above sea level and it was built around 1680. It was last used for milling barley, but ceased in 1919.
The four sails, 27 ft long and 5 ft wide had large canvas cloths which were unrolled accordingly to the strength of the wind.

October 7, 2012 - I was trekking through the small town of El Paso Colorado, and stumbled across a home that had numerous windmills as yard decorations. The lady of the house, Penny, was quite gracious in allowing me on to her property and phtograph these wonderful windmills. Penny told me tha ther Dad, who was 80+ years old, collected these windmills over the years, and spent his time restoring them. Now they are on display (fully functional I might add) on the property. This is a shot of an old Planttner Yale windmill.
