It is with regret that we have made the decision not to open the windmill to visitors until hopefully spring next year because of COVID-19. We had so many plans to celebrate our 250th anniversary this year so we look forward to welcoming you in 2021 to celebrate our 251st birthday! This great painting is by Bob Anderton to celebrate our anniversary. #holgatewindmill #holgate #acomb #york #everythingyork #visityork #thingstodoinYork #yorkattractions #250thCelebration #postponeduntil2021 #celebrationspostponed #yorkwindmill #1770 #250years ...

The photo taken by Nick Ansell on 31 July was printed in yesterday’s York Press. A great photo with a ‘starburst’ effect.

We are in the process of restoring another set of mill stones( peak stones). Originally there were 4 working millstones in the windmill all powered by wind. When the restoration took place 2 of the sets of the stones were restored, one to by powered by the sails and the other set by an electric motor. The peak stones are now working, which is really exciting, but there is still a lot to do including constructing the shute to take the flour to the ground floor and the casings round the stones. These photos show the work involved in making the stone furniture! Not an easy job by any means! #holgatewindmill #holgatewindmillpreservationsociety #restoration #restoredwindmill #restored #millwrights #traditionalcornmillersguild #TCMG #millstones ...
