Pakenham Windmill

Pakenham is described as The Village of Two Mills. I took a ride out there after sitting around slobbishly in front of the football on the tellie. I came to a crossroad. Water Mill or Windmill? I only had time for one as I needed to get back to feed the gaping mouths.

Windmill it was...


Erected in 1830, it was in regular use until the 1950s. It was refurbished in 2000. I actually approached it from the west. From that direction in the early evening, I think the sails look quite dramatic silhouetted against a clear blue sky.
