Description: If you look closely at the body of the mill, you can see that it has been turned round during its life.....this was once the end which the sails emerged from. Quite unusual for one of the last working windmills that it was turned to the wind manually and that 2 of the sails used the laborious sail cloth method of catching the wind. The other pair of sails were spring loaded shutters. Even these required the mill to stop for adjustment.
