More about this scene

This is a smock windmill with some vertical weatherboarding and a single-storey brick base with staging. The mill was powered by four patent shuttered sails, and winding was controlled by hand with an endless chain gear hanging from the rear of the cap down to the staging. Only the brick base survives.

My mother died in 1943,when I was still a child. It was strange, terrible time but I remember vividly standing in the peaceful churchyard at the burial. The place is dear to my heart.
