Holgate Windmill

Holgate tower windmill was built in 1770 of brickstones by its first owner and miller George Waud. He, his son and grandson ran the mill until 1851, and a dwelling-house was erected around the same time. The mill was originally fitted with five Roller Reefing sails although these were later replaced by Double Patent sails. In 1841, the mill was described as having three pairs of French Burr millstones, two dressing machines and five Patent sails.A fourth pair of stones had been added by 1858.
Restored fully in 2012 The mill typically works one day a week producing around 75 kilograms (165 lb) of wholemeal and spelt flour. During the Covid-19 outbreak, an upsurge in demand has seen an increase to 400 kilograms (880 lb) per week.
