Skidby Windmill

Skidby Windmill

Friday 16th January 2015

The first time I have been up close to Skidby windmill. Situated between Beverley and the Humber Bridge, it was built in 1821 and owned by the Thompson family from 1854 to 1962, who sold out to Allied Mills. Beverley Rural District Council acquired the mill and in 1974 it was restored to full working order, using wind power. The outbuildings now house the museum of East Riding Life.
