We see a lot of modern wind turbines these days but this windmill, in York, dates back to 1770 and was milling flour long before the houses appeared around it in the 1900's. Now restored, by volunteers in the Holgate Mill Preservation Society, it is open to visitors and does grind flour on open days.
The restorers have done an excellent job on the mill, but can you show what the scene might have looked like in its golden years of the 18th century?
