In 17 pictures: Jill Windmill in Clayton finally gets all four sweeps back after 15 months

Jill Windmill in Clayton finally got all four of her sweeps back on Saturday, October 8, after 15 months.

Simon Potter, trustee and founder of the Jack and Jill Windmills Society, said that the work started in July 2021, just after Jill’s 200th anniversary celebrations.

He said the team of volunteers had intended to get the maintenance work finished sooner but their plans were repeatedly scuppered by bad weather.
