Alford Windmill
Alford Windmill
The windmill is over 30 metres high and has six floors. In its hey day it was capable of grinding 4 to 5 tonnes of corn a day. The mill worked until 1955. After two years standing idle it was restored to full working order and is only one of three working mills in Lincolnshire.There is a tea shop here beside the mill where this picture was taken from in the warm late afternoon sunshine.
