Windmill De Huisman has been located above the spice warehouse Indië’s Welvaren since 1955, but they used to be next to each other. Snuff mill De Huisman (1786) and spice mill Indië’s Welvaren (1908) were forced to move as the city of Zaandam expanded. The buildings now form a single modern business in a centuries-old exterior. The delicious aroma of freshly-ground spices fills the air. Three pairs of millstones now grind tropical products in a corner of the warehouse and the interior of the authentic shop has been lovingly restored. Discover the world of flavours and aromas in a brief video and a range of information panels.
Even on a blustery, overcast September day, the windmill at Lytham still looks special. It had its sails replaced in the spring after storms last November - they were buffeting about in the wind today but the craftsmen who fit them must have done a good job.
Chesterton Windmill is a 17th-century cylindric stone tower windmill with an arched base, located outside the village of Chesterton, Warwickshire. It is a Grade I listed building and a striking landmark in South-East Warwickshire.
The windmill is one of Warwickshire's most famous landmarks. It stands on a hilltop overlooking the village of Chesterton for nearly 350 years. It is near the Roman Fosse Way and about five miles (8 km) south-east of Warwick. It was built around 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, making it the earliest tower mill in England to retain any of its working parts.

"Wind farms" are springing up around northwest Missouri these days. This particular wind farm is over near Conception Junction, 14 or 15 miles east of Maryville. The windmill in the foreground isn't actually part of the modern wind farm--I would have to do some actual research, but I seem to remember being told once that metal windmills were put up all over the midwest sometime during the Great Depression (the one before the one we may or may not be entering, now). I don't know if this particular windmill is that old or not, but probably it is a good deal older than I am (and I have "achieved" a full half-century at this point).
