Windmills and cars

Sometimes a photographer can't content themselves with just taking a great picture of a windmill... they want to add that little bit extra to the image - and what better than including a classy car in the shot.

This page just helps bring together a few examples of this powerful combination...

Boats

The woodworking skills to repair windmills are somewhat akin to those needed to restore grand wooden boats. Vincent Pargeter, a millwright, has restored the Norfolk wherry Maud.
