Cutting from "Northern Daily Telegraph". The article says the Fylde has always been known as "Windmill Land". Within a radius of some 12 miles of Blackpool there were over 12 working windmills and over time windmills became unnecessary and lapsed into disuse leaving a few in operation. The latest of these landmarks is Staining windmill near Blackpool.
