Skidby Windmill
Powered by four sails measuring 11 metres (36 feet) in length, it remained in commercial operation until 1966.Between 1954 and 1966, the mill transitioned to grinding animal feedstuff using newly installed electric rollers, while also continuing to stoneground flour.This historic site holds the distinction of being the last operational English windmill north of the Humber, specializing in the production of wholemeal flour sourced from locally grown wheat.Open to visitors throughout the week, milling activities occur from Wednesday to Sunday, weather permitting.In 2008, restoration efforts commenced on the mill, focusing on the replacement of certain structural elements within the cap and fantail.
