Bidston, The Windmill 1947

More about this scene
The windmill, which still stands on the summit of Bidston Hill, was built as a flour mill in 1800 and functioned as such until 1875. The tenuous fingers of decay and various storms caused much damage in the ensuing years, but it was restored and new sails were added in the 1990s. There are now frequent open days when the interior and the operating machinery can be seen.
