Halnaker Windmill this evening. I walked the dog up here this evening with my son. I was hoping for a full sunset, but to much cloud on the horizon. But managed to get a nice sunburst shot
This was taken with the original sony A7 I bought in October 2015, and the kit lens it came with. The mill, standing five miles south of Leamington Spa, is supported by six stone pillars and was in use until 1910 when its machinery broke down……

This unusual survivor is one of the oldest windmills in Britain. Pitstone windmill ground flour for the village for almost three hundred years until a freak storm in the early 1900s left it damaged beyond economic repair.

Thorpeness Windmill is a Grade II listed post mill at Thorpeness Suffolk which was built in 1803 at Aldringham and moved to Thorpeness in 1923. Originally built as a corn mill it was converted to a water pumping mill when it was moved to Thorpeness. It pumped water to the House in the Clouds.
The Beemster is the first so-called polder in the Netherlands, land that was reclaimed from a lake, the water being extracted out of the lake by windmills. The Beemster Polder was dried during the period 1609 through 1612. Because of its historical relevance, and because the original structure of the area is still largely intact, the Beemster was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1999.

Chesterton Windmill is just off the Fosse Way about five miles to the south of Leamington Spa, near the village of Chesterton, Warwickshire.
Erected in 1632 from a design attributed to Inigo Jones, the windmill was in use until 1910. It was possibly an observatory once, which explains its unusual appearance.
The design of the mill is unique both structurally and mechanically. Originally there was a central timber structure containing a staircase.
Most of the gearing is of timber. The millstones are on the first floor set on a timber frame known as a hurst, an arrangement not often found in English windmills. The sails would have been of the common cloth type. The cap is turned into the wind by a hand operated geared winch mounted on the framework in the cap, which engages with a rack located on the top of the tower.
