A picture which explains very well why windmills went out of use. In a windy week, a mill like Great Crosby would do well to fill two or three of the carts full of flour sacks in this photo of the Liverpool North Shore steam mills (and a small mill like Wavertree would do well to fill one). All the carts shown, combined, are carrying one day's output from North Shore [IMG]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5001/...2fc4440b43.jpg[/IMG]
