Derelict Mill

A trip over to my step-daughters this afternoon on the way over we pass this derelict mill. Today I decided to pull over and take a few shots of it as I thought it looks really good in the winter months.Best viewed large , Julie blipped it last summer from a slightly different angle.
This is Worsdell's Mill, Waddington
On the Viking Way. Description from Lincolnshire County Council website reads: “Built in 1820, this replaced a post mill. It worked until c.1908 and then was left to become derelict. The two remaining sails were removed in 1927 and the upper part of the tower was pulled down early in the war because of its proximity to an airfield. It now stands disused as a derelict shell. There were four patent sails driving three pairs of stones, two grey and one French”.
