Delighted to see George Green's Windmill is getting funding for repairs!

The windmill was owned by mathematical physicist George Green (1793-1841) and built by his father, and has been a working windmill and science centre since it was restored in the 1980s. Alas the sails were removed in 2022 - I took this picture when I visited in January 2024.

Apparently the money will be used for repairs to the sails, machinery and building, and will make the mill fully operational again.
