Your bike and a windmill

[uphillstruggler]

Not sure if there’s a thread, sub thread or the like but I thought I’d give this one a whirl

I’m not expecting much

New Bradwell windmill that is also the cover photo of the OS map for my area

Now looked after by Milton Keynes Museum

An old photo but one of m very favourites. Liesl in Holland.

Not a complete one but this is a picture of my Retro Trek 1400 USPS in front of the windmill near Appleton Roebuck, North Yorkshire.

I'm always glad to support a new photo thread if I have something suitable.

This is Llancayo Mill, close to the river Usk in the forbidden land to the west. The picture was taken in August 2018 with a rather disappointing camera which soon after was lost when I forgot to close a zip on my rack-top bag.

The mill is now rather a sumptuous-looking holiday home. Certainly a good spot for fixed-centre cycling.

Here's a photo of me standing in front of a 'windmill' in Cannon Hill Park in 1976. Sorry about the lack of a bike

I posted this one 5 1/2 years ago in the picture of the day thread

It’s my (hire) bike in front of a windmill whilst on holiday in Holland

Just remembered it now.

There’s already been more replies to this thread than I thought it would raise

I'll start with a couple of complete & working ones
Bardwell in Suffolk (which also houses a bakery)

Thelnetham in Norfolk

 

[Jenkins]

Then there's Billingford in Norfolk which is under restoration (the sails are on the ground behind the fencing)

And two almost next to eash other in Drinkstone in Suffolk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinkstone_windmills)

Not sure if these new fangled carbuncles are allowed in this thread I did pass a "proper" one, but that had been made into a twee house and didn't have any sails.

Dragging this back up - a couple from today's outing. Firstly, Stanton post mill

Secondly, Pakenham windmill

1982, I think

Oh, this is annoying.
I've ridden along a signed 'Windmill Route' in northern France, and got a few photos of windmills. Do you think my bike was in, like, any of them?
I'll have to ride to Cromer now. The Cromer near me where this is, not the one in Norfolk.

I thought this was a windmill as I approached, but it turns out no one knows what it was - some sort of store is the explanation given on the little board by the gate. It's also a holiday cottage (of course). Located on NCR 1 near Belford.
