Heckington Windmill is the only 8-sailed tower windmill still standing in the United Kingdom with its sails intact.
Heckington is located about midway between Sleaford and Boston in Lincolnshire.
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.
This windmill is located down the street from Duff-Baby House in historic Sandwich Towne, Windsor, Ontario.

Have you ever seen one of these huge blades being moved down the freeway on a gigantic oversized truck? HUGE
I've seen these wind farms in the distance and I knew they were massive but standing right next to a field of them in the vast Eastern Oregon desert was amazing. I was totally mesmerized by the sound they make as the blades spin endlessly in the wind. Somewhere someone is playing Grand Theft Auto thanks to this juice.
