    The windmill comes from Illinois, USA. Can anyone read the vane?

    Sligo harnessing wind power, long ago. Great shot.

    It's a "HALLADAY" pump from this company - www.bataviahistoricalsociety.org/exhibits-collections/com... "By 1881, the company was called the largest institution of its kind in the world."

    I can't reliably identify anything on the map except the telegraph tower, so it's difficult to pinpoint.
  • derangedlemur said:
    O Mac That makes sense. The windmill (or something there, anyway) is marked on the 25"

    That donkey, Oatey, looks like he would tilt at windmills.

    The NIAH has an entry on two windmills: The Small Windmill The Great Windmill With the graveyard behind and no big mill, I think this is the Great WIndmill. Windmill, c.1750, on a circular plan, capped with a mansard roof having five spring sails. The tower 49 ft (c.15m ) Restored c.1995. ROOF: Slate mansard roof with five spring sails. WALLS: Nap rendered.OPENINGS: Square headed with rendered reveals; timber sash windows; tongue and grooved doors. INTERIOR: Restored, with cobbled floor and working machinery. Streetview

  • beachcomber australia said:
    Niall McAuley Cancel that! My windyview is outside the gate.

    The 25" OSI Map has the Small Windmill in ruins, whereas the Great Windmill is disused.
