The village of Brigsley & Waltham Windmill site.
This thatched cottage stands in the main street at Brigsley and is probably the most photographed cottage in northern Lincolnshire. |
Waltham windmill close to Brigsley is a 6 sailed post mill, built in 1666, restored in recent years it is fully operational and open to the public in the summer months. |
