Wissendene Windmill

Hey all

Found this working windmill today just outside Leicester, as we arrived the miller was showing some of his relatives around, he said to tag along if we wanted, so we got the inside tour also.

Whissendene Windmill 1

Thanks for looking, all comments welcome.

Hi Shelley
No we had to dash in quickly to catch the family members so had to leave camera in the car.

Thanks for the comments.

What an amazing find! I was in the Netherlands several years ago for work near Eindhoven and got to see several working windmills, I wasn't into photography then and didn't even have a camera with me. Perhaps someday I'll get back over there.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.
