Expansion

[edit]

I've assessed this as 'stub-class' as I don't feel there's enough content here yet. Without the formatting,list of millers and references there's only really a paragraph of content. Having said that, what is there is well-referenced. Suggested expansion would address the following:

  • who built it?
  • what has it been used for?
  • current status? presumably no longer in use? open to the public?
  • description should be expanded if possible,and steer away from using too much jargon - "a three storey buck on a single storey roundhouse" doesn't mean much to someone like me, with little knowledge of windmills.
  • picture could show windmill more clearly.

I couldn't find a windmill Featured Article, but Fabyan Windmill is a Good Article, and may be a useful guide. Paulbrock (talk) 19:00, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've expanded the history a little. The builder isn't known. It's difficult to explain about windmills without using jargon, which is why the Mill machinery pages exists - saves having to keep repeating everything in every mill article. Modern pictures will not show the mill clearly as it is now surrounded by trees. Old postcards do show the mill clearly, but my collection is currently packed away pending a move.
