What's new at Windmill World
27th January 2005
Oops - well over a year, and I've failed to update this page, even though there have been many updates to the site.
The News page is updated regularly, and I tend to announce significant new pages there, which has
made this page somewhat redundant. I'll leave it here since it served as a useful record of when some pages were added to the site.
8th January 2004
There have been a number of updates since July, but I don't seem to have
updated this page. Thus this list includes pages that have been available
for a while.
New pages:
31st July 2003
A quick update of a mini theme - Windmills attached to casinos.
23rd July 2003
I have considerably reworked the pages dedicated to windmills in each of the
English counties, to link data from a lot of sources together.
These sources include:
- The Mills Index - the origin of the numbers you now see appearing with
the location of each mill
- More complete inclusion of NGRs for each mill
- An indication of whether the mill is featured in the Mills Open publication
- News items
- Photos from a number of collections hosted on this site
- Better linking to external collections and information sources, including
Other new pages include
... and of course the news pages are updated almost daily.

A special update for today - a page detailing some
improved designs for windmills and watermills that have been
proposed over the years.
26th March 2003
I'm grateful to have received a CD of images from Mike Matthews which will
be appearing over the coming months. Many of these images are of areas of
the country that I had poor or no coverage of - the first results of this
are pages on

21st March 2003
A error by by hosting provider wiped out my entire site earlier this week,
and the restored site was from a historical backup - apologies if you found
that pages you expected to find had disappeared for a short while.
This reload should set most of the site back to where it was, with the
addition of additional pages as well.

Windmill World
first went live in late August 2000.
However between 1995 - 2000 most of the site used to be available at
its old location
on Geocities.
The site underwent a thorough overhaul when being transferred, and a lot of
new material that I had to hand was incorporated as I went along.
Major highlights of the new material are the pages of
historical photos
by T C Vickers, from the 1940's - 60s.
