Just on the otherside of the (Dutch/German) border near the town I live, there's a whole park of these windmills. Shot this picture for the theme 'wind' of the Challenging Piks Pool
Reconstructed example of a 19th century center post grist windmill. The center pivot and outlying wheel allowed the windmill to be turned so that the blades can face the wind coming from any direction.
Croydon's only windmill, Shirley Windmill is in Postmill Close, off the Upper Shirley Road, Shirley, Croydon, Surrey, UK. Built in the mid 1850's to replace an earlier post mill which was destroyed by fire in 1854, it worked until 1892 when it was abandoned. The mill is opened on the first Sunday of each month from June until October, between 1pm and 5pm.
I have been driving past this windmill on my way home from work each week so thought it was about time to stop and take a photo. It looks more dramatic from the road but there's nowhere to stop so this had to be taken from a side road.
Having done some research I discovered that the mill, which stands just outside the village of Great Haseley, first operated in 1760 but fell into disrepair. Over the last 10 years it has been restored to its former glory.
