Chinnor Windmill
Chinnor Windmill
This splendid mill has been reconstructed almost from scratch.
The original mill was on the other side of the road but the site was cleared for housing in the 1960s.
Using information from old pictures plus a few remaining original bits and pieces, the mill has been recreated by enthusiasts.
This picture is a follow up to SP7401 : Chinnor post mill undergoing restoration. which shows the mill before the top was lowered onto the base by crane.
Here is a clip off You Tube showing that being done. LinkExternal link
