Old postcard view c1905.

In the snow, from an old postcard dated 1909.

1912 - from a painting by Ogilvy.

Taken sometime in the 1920's.

The upright shaft is the sole survivor after the wreckage from the collapsed mill was removed in 1944.

From a postcard dating from the 1920's.

Another postcard view from the 1920's.

From an etching by Adrian Hill produced in the 1920's.

A later view, this time from the 1940's.

This was probably taken shortly before the collapse in 1944

The derelict base in October 2003 surrounded by nettles.

Looking up the field from the pond, showing the derelict chicken shed on the right (October 2003).

This is the only window in the base (October 2003).

The interior showing the precarious state of the roof in October 2003.

The plans for the rebuild were produced on AutoCAD software.

This elevation shows the control chain for turning the cap so that the sails face into the wind.

The doorway with the collapsed roof above in January 2006.

This photograph shows the end of the 'Upright Shaft' and clearly demonstrates it's use as the ridge piece for the roof (January 2006).

This was subsequently used as a ridge piece when the base was roofed over sometime in the late 1940's.

There is now only one pair of sails and boarding is starting to fall off .

The mill is leaning towards the left and the one of the main 'cant' posts is about to slip off the brickwork.

The main gear is the 'Great Spur' wheel and the two smaller gears are the 'Stone Nuts' with the stones just discernable above them.

The frame is not original, but was added when the base was roofed over. The interior oak lintel is original though and will be preserved if possible.

The large timber running up to the top left of the photograph is actually the remains of the 'Upright Shaft' upon which the 'Great Spur Wheel' was mounted - see photograph of interior machinery. As much of this as possible will be preserved in the mill.

This elevation shows the Granary on the left, which will house the kitchen area.

You can also see the stage from which to reach the chain. The stage never had a guard rail around it and I will keep it this way for appearance sake, although this does mean that I cannot access it from the doors.

The door frame is original and the top frame member will be preserved as well as the interior oak lintel.

The spade on the left is the actual one we used to dig out the accumulated infill from inside the base!
