Cutting from unknown publication. It was reported that the Windmill near Herne Bay reopened for use. This is a "survivor" of the many windmills in Britain that once ground corn and meal and sawed timber. Only a 1000 are left standing and few are in use. The report also describes early developments in Western Europe.

Cutting from "News Chronicle" reporting that the sails of the Herne Bay Windmill "slowly" turned after a lapse of three years. Mr Frank Wootton, the miller, enabled the sails to turn again. The mill is a splendid example of Kentish octagonal smock mill with a revolving bonnet. It was built in 1781 on a site that had a mill in the distant past.
