this old windmill lies on the Carrington estate in the heart of Leicestershire, i used to look across the field too it on the way to school thinking wow id love to live in there
ive finally got to see it up close and inside as we were replacing one of the very rotted oak lintles above the door on the first floor
affraid its phone pics only
the ground floor is just the farms chemical store, the previous owner had been using the first floor as a grain store too
climbing these no handed clutchin a bucket of mortar against my chest was fun
thankfully there has been a roof on it since it seased to be a windmill so its all nice and dry inside (note the ring gear around the top course of bricks)
and the view from the first floor
