rich5315 Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 hi thanks golden fleece, ive done a bit of research on the net and found a map from 1854 and the windmill is on the map its actually at the very highest point on the hill which is above windmill road, it was situated to the north side of woosetts road it does look like it would be around windermere court if you draw the roads in on the map, thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazeinadaze Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
