Renewable Renewed

Today's pic is of the recently restored Moulton Mill, Britain's tallest windmill. I grew up in the next village, where the mill, without its sails, featured boldly on the horizon. The mill was an active flour mill from the 18th Century until a violent storm brought down the sails. Later is was fitted with an electric motor to turn the stones until that became uneconomical in the 1950s. Now, thanks to the dedicated hard work of volunteers, it has been restored and is grinding corn with renewable energy once more.
