Ha Ha hazeinadaze 15-07-2006, 12:10 There is a picture of the windmill in a book entitled 'Aspects of Rotherham' -No.3 in the series. There is a paragraph about it. I was researching this myself being 'into' local history in the nearby village of Woodsetts. Hope all this helps. melthebell 15-07-2006, 12:47 It was on WINDMILL RD in Anston I think.........not sure where though i think he'd know which road seen as he said it was roughly round about where his house is |
