Tysoe Windmill

Inspired by @siadwell I wondered how many miles per windmill I could do round here (East Yorkshire/Holderness) so this afternoon I set off on my quest. I did 52 miles & here's the windmills I came across
#1 Mappleton Mill, restored around 10 years ago with a new build extension off the back of it

#2 Garton Mill, unused, but doesn't look in bad condition from the road

#3 Waxholme Mill, near Withernsea. Derelict

#4 Patrington Mill, too far away to see the condition, but looks in a poor state

#5 Keyingham Mill. Another mill that has been restored as a house with an extension, unable to get a decent pic due to the solid gate & wall

#6 Burton Pidsea Mill, unable to tell if the mill is used or lived in, but looks in good order

#7 Elstronwick Mill, looks in a poor state, but still has some of the original workings

#8 Ellerby Mill, too far from the road to tell for certain, but looks like it could be habited, as part of the house perhaps?

#9 Hornsea, situated about half a mile from the centre, looks like it's part of the attached dwelling, but again unable to get decent access to have a good look

There's another 4 i can think of 'nearby' without any research, but they would have added at least 30 miles to today's ride
