No Sails

A very dull drizzly day today.

This is Money's Mill, a 1796 corn windmill.

I stumbled upon it while looking for a hairdresser this afternoon, as I was in desperate need of looking respectable before my Aunts visit a trim.

It stands in the centre of Sleaford in an area known as Money's Yard. Measuring a dizzying seventy feet high and having eight storeys, it was built during the canal boom, and just one of a number of mills in the town. Having lost its sails since its heyday and had a carpark built around it, it was used as the Tourist Information Office until recently. There have been no further plans for the mill, but it it is re-tarred fairly regularly and kept in a state of good repair
