Hutton Windmill

Hutton Windmill

Monday 2nd March 2015

Poring over the Ordnance Survey map of the Driffield area, I spotted a windmill symbol at Hutton village, Hutton Cranswick. I just had to go along and have a look. The windmill is located at Pit Top Farm, Hutton Cranswick and is a Grade 2 listed building and according to English Heritage it was probably built late 18th, early 19th century. The photo was never going to work in colour, with blue steel doors and a blue plastic water butt! I liked the old derelict buildings on the left, which somehow gave it a sense of place and time. Straight black and white would have been too clinical but a sepia toned vintage look works well.
