The Windmills of Bristol and Gloucestershire

£25.00

Mills Archive Research Publication 18: A4, 38pp with 27 illustrations.

In the past the windmills of Gloucestershire and Bristol have tended to be overlooked by researchers into industrial archaeology; this book attempts to remedy that deficiency. A surprising variety of mills existed within the region; most were for grinding corn but windpumps are recorded, besides which the metropolis of Bristol spawned a number of windmills for “industrial” purposes such as the grinding of snuff.
