Downfield windmill, Soham
The future of this historic windmill is in doubt after it was revealed that restoration would cost £100,000. Downfield Windmill in Fordham Road, Soham, has been placed on the English Heritage Buildings At Risk register, the annually published list which aims to identify buildings at risk through neglect and decay, or vulnerable to becoming so. The mill, previously in working order, was opened as a tourist attraction until it suffered massive storm damage in January and February of 2001.
