Chinnor buck lifted on to trestle 🌍

On Wed 3rd Aug 2011, the buck of Chinnor windmill was lifted up and placed on the unique three crossbar/six quarterbar trestle. This represents a major milestone in the prolonged reconstruction of this mill, since it now means that it now looks recognisably like a windmill, though the project now looks forward to the next challenges, which include the reinstatement of the windshaft, and the construction of sails.

The lift was reported by the Thame Gazette.
