In the Windmills of your mind

Or, the windmills I cycle past in the Fenlands. Someone suggested I blogged it.

The first Windmill I pass is Impington Mill , which can be found here.

Impington Mill is a Smock Windmill, in which the base is stone, the "smock" is wooden, and the cap rotates into the wind

Another regular is Madingley Madingley is the oldest type of Windmill. A "post" windmill is one in which the whole budy rotates into the wind. This has no wind rotor that I can see so I'm assuming this must be manually turned into the wind. I could be wrong. It can be found here

 

This is Over , the most modern type of Windmill, a tower windmill. Like a smock windmill but entirely made of stone or brick with a rotating cap. Also note Willingham water tower in the background!
