More archive sites found via the
EnrichUK.net portal. Its a real shame that many of the sites
make it impossible to link to individual results. Part of the aim of the lottery funding is to make these records accessible, and
although Internet access does mean that more people can access the items remotely, making it impossible to bookmark or link to the
results once they have been found seems to me to be counter to the original aims.

Gathering the Jewels - reflecting the cultural heritage of Wales from

corn mills category.

As bakers, the flour came from local mills, some of which show up in a search for mill. However, the larger set of

Hantspere covers Hampshire's local history and environment. A search for "windmill"
gives a small number of results, of which the photo of Owslebury windmill is most interesting, and a search for "mill" gives
a good number more results, including both watermills, and some records of Denmead and Langstone windmills not given
by the first search.
-
Imagine York includes images from York, Yorkshire, where a search for "windmill"
is dominated by images of Holgate windmill.
-
