The
Artie's Mill hotel and restaurant complex at Castlethorpe, near Brigg, has been
bought by the Elizabeth Hotels Group
in a million pound deal. The 50 staff will keep their jobs with the new owners, who are
expecting to refurbish the hotel, spending £450,000 over 10 weeks.
The windmill at the centre of the complex had been owned by the grandfather, Arthur, of the
Proctor brothers Barry and Jeff, who in 1984 spent £150,000 converting it into what is now a 20+ room hotel.
