More about this scene

At the east end of the town is Alford Mill, a six-storey, five-sail mill built in 1813 by Sam Oxley, an Alford millwright. It is owned by Lincolnshire County Council and has been restored to full working order. A few windmills feature in this collection: Lincolnshire once had over seven hundred of them.
