Funny and rare.
I found two twin windmills this year and both not that far from where I live.
This one is:
Standerd- windmill "de Hoed" ( the Hat .) Waarde.- Holland.
Open Standerd-windmill uit 1858.
Already before circa 1550 this windmill was build in the Belgium city Gent. In 1858 the mill was sold and rebuild on this place . Selling and rebuilds was often done those days
How wonderful to create a windmill theme! You know we all love them! May I assume you knew about this near your home? Or were you surprised to come across it one day? On my walks around Lunenburg, someone has built a miniature scale model of their house and it sits out front at the end of the driveway. I think I may have it in my albums, but I haven't looked for it yet.
@merrelyn@kelly2 Windmills are ancient/old factories. They where build and sold as the market pleased. Often been done. To day it`s the same. I live in this place because they/thefirm moved and replaced the whole (big) factory from one side of the country to an other side of the country. I move with it to keep my job.
I went back to your picture of last December and left a comment.
