"Weeton Mill - Effort to Restore and Preserve"
Part of Press Cuttings Collection
Cutting from "Blackpool Times". The Ancient Monuments Society come to the rescue by taking an interest in preserving the old mills of the Fylde. An authority on mills said "it seemed a pity that not one windmill was to be seen at work in the Fylde". Lancashire had a chance to see at least one windmill remained.
Images of UK mills, photographers unknown (some probably taken by museum staff).
