      Fylde Council seems a much more productive assembly. I'm guessing Blackpool, gaining their independence, subscribed to the woke agenda, like here in Manchester. Produces only inequity and encourages division, despite portraying to represent the complete opposite.

    The plaque on Martin Windmill is dedicated to Allen Clarke. He was a Journalist from Manchester who fell in love with the Fylde countryside and moved to Blackpool.
    He cycled all round the Fylde and Over Wyre. He wrote a book called Windmill Land about all the windmills he visited and the people he met. He also published a regular newsletter of news and views of the time.

    Lots of good childhood memories of playing around Little Marton Windmill or, as we called it, "The Winnie". The sails are always getting damaged every time theres extremely strong winds or storms. I remember one year there was an extreme storm that left one sail on the ground and another dangerously hanging down. Not too sure but I think a good few years ago, there was an attempt at one point to fully restore it but either funding ran out or parts were unavailable and too expensive to have manufactured.

    Am I correct in thinking the Lytham windmill was sold for best to nothing on the basis that it would be renovated and was from what I remember turned into a home.

    • @AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool
      @AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool  Год назад

      The windmill is owned by the council, I believe. It'll never be turned into a house. I certainly wouldn't want to live in a converted windmill in the middle of a big green, with loads of people taking pics all day every day.
