TQ1421 : Fantail, Shipley Windmill

near to Shipley, West Sussex, Great Britain

Fantail, Shipley Windmill
Fantail, Shipley Windmill
At the back of the cap is the fantail, which is like a giant version of those windmills on a stick that we all used to buy at the seaside when we were kids. It is set at right angles to the sails, so that when the wind blows against the fantail blades from the side, it causes them to rotate, turning the cap of the mill until the sweeps are facing directly into the wind.
