Written by HFM News on 20th August 2021
Work has begun to restore the historic Kibworth Harcourt Windmill to its former glory.
Once complete the last surviving post mill in Leicestershire, which dates back to the 1700’s, will be operational again for the first time since the 1930s.
Specialist contractors are carrying out the work on behalf of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, including installing new sailes after the previous ones were removed a few years ago for safety reasons.
Naomi Hatton, the project engineer, spoke to Hfm:
