    I never knew there was a windmill in Newsham either and I live by it. Pity it was demolished,another little bit of character lost.

    Hi,
    is this the mill you meant, in Newsham park? This one was used for pumping water in the lake/boating pond.

    I rediscovered this thread today and thought it needs a 'bump!'

    I went past the mill in Moor lane,and it looks like some major renovation is in progress,but don't think they'll be putting the sails back!? Here's a couple of then, and now pic's.(origin uncertain)

    Thanks, Steve. Great to see. I used to ride past this mill on board the L5 or L6 Ribble bus on the way to or from my auntie's in Water Street, Thornton. As you do, I doubt if there are any plans to restore the sails.

    Great series Steve. It would look amazing with the sails restored. I wonder whether this is just a dream, or whether there're some plans 'aloft'?

    It was up for sale at £50,000,about 10/12 years ago,but probably needed work,then!
