SOCC 3 - Old Windmill

There are numerous old windmills all along the top of Lincolnshire Ridge, this one is rather surprisingly at the bottom of it. It’s capped and has its doors and windows bricked up and from memory it’s been like this for nigh of 20 years so I doubt it’s going to be converted into a house anytime soon.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.
Amazing capture, what a shame it would make a wonderful house!

Nice capture, I wonder what it’s like inside.

Looks like all the doors and windows have been bricked up

How cool, what happened to the top?. A shame they bricked up the windows and door.

@dutchothotmailcom The top, that would have had the sails, has been removed when the mill was decommissioned and it is then capped with concrete (or as the disused mill in our village is, tarpaulin/plastic); doors and the windows are bricked up to make it weather proof.

Isn’t it missing its namesake? I love the way some of these are converted for use. I ate in one in Sweden once.

Never seen a windmill like this. It's a pity, but a very cool shot!
