New website illustrates progress at Broad Eye windmill

Broad Eye windmill in Staffordshire is currently being adapted to house an Industrial Heritage Museum. The tower was stripped of machinery over 100 years ago, so the plan is to restore the mill to its appearance in around the 1920s, during which time it became a butchers shop! There is a newly reinstated shop front, and the renovated ground floor has been opened to visitors on Special Open days already. The new website offers a history of the mill, a photo gallery, more details of the Heritage museum, and some more substantial downloads including a Powerpoint presentation on the mill from 1795-2006
