The reconstruction of Ockley windmill into a residential, but still largely traditionally built mill continues,
with progress being reported at the
Ockley windmill site.
Progress over the past year (since building regulation approval of the plans) has seen
- construction of the attached traditional granary (including a portion on saddle stones)
- considerable making good of the smock base (including new lintels, new brickwork, all existing brickwork repointed)
- delivery of the iron windshaft
- installation of oak sills
Now the side frames (which were made in the workshops of JHE Ltd in Burgess Hill) are on site, and being reassembled
ready to be lifted into place.
