Shipley sails fully shuttered

Shipley windmill reports that following the replacement of a 42ft long stock, and two sweeps in Sept 2004, additional repairs have been made to the other pair of sweeps, and the full complement of 276 shutters are now in place.

Open days for 2005 are the first, second and third Sundays in each month, from Easter to the end of October, plus Bank Holiday Mondays. Opening hours are 2.00pm to 5.00 pm. The mill will be working whenever the availability of volunteers and the wind permits. The windmill will thus re-open on Easter Sunday and Monday, 27th-28th March 2005.
