Event details

Holgate Windmill logo

Do you live on a ‘Mill Lane’ or near a ‘Millfield’? If you do then it is very likely that at some time in history there was a windmill or a watermill nearby. In the past dozens of windmills could be seen across the skyline of York. Now they have all gone except for Holgate Windmill, which has been fully restored to working order producing flour for sale.

Join us at Holgate Windmill for an exhibition revealing the sites, images and stories of many of York’s lost mills.
